Place of origin Mingjian, Taiwan Gao Shan Oolong Tea Steeping Method We highly recommend to infuse Gao Shan Oolong Tea in the traditional Chinese method (Gong Fu Cha) with a gaiwan of about 200 ml capacity. 

Following this preparation, with 5 grams of leaves, multiple infusions can be made to better enjoy all the flavors of the tea. 

After a quick rinsing of the leaves with water at a temperature of 100°C, a first infusion of 2-3 seconds can be carried out. 

Subsequently, keeping the water at the same temperature, you can continue to infuse the same leaves by adding more water and increasing the infusion time by about 10 seconds each time. 

This tea allows for about 4-5 infusions. 

For a better tasting experience, we suggest filtering the infusion as soon as the established infusion time has ended. 

The infusion times suggested by us can however be slightly modified to your liking to obtain a more or less intense flavour. 

It is recommended to store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
