To reach optimum flavor, before brewing, rinse oolong leaves for 10-20 seconds and watch the large, tightly wrapped leaves unfurl.
Monkey Picked Oolong derives its name from the 18th century, when Buddhist monks trained monkeys to pick this high quality tea. Its rolled leaves graciously unfurl to reveal large leaves with a fragrant, smooth flavor with nut and fruit undertones.
