614 Formosa Pouchong

The Formosa Pouchong is a quite unusual tea that adds a wonderful taste extension to any tea collection. As is typical of a good Pouchong, its characteristics share commonalities with both Green and Oolong teas. Only about 18% oxidized, this tea is fruitier than green tea but does have its natural, refreshing taste and lightness. A very likeable tea, enjoyed by both Oolong and Green tea friends. Highly recommended.

Recommendations: Use 2 heaping tsp. per 6 oz. cup; heat fresh, cold water until steaming briskly (195°F); let steep for 2-3 min.

The leaves support many consecutive infusions, making it a great tea for Gungfu style preparation.

Ingredients: Oolong tea

Health Benefits: Studies show that oolong tea, rich in antioxidants, promotes healthy teeth, skin and bones and can help to lower cholesterol, protect against heart disease and aid in digestion and weight loss. Since oolong tea contains a significant amount of polyphenol (known as tannin), it is believed to account for the lower risk of cancer in tea drinkers because of its ability to help DNA cells to accurately reproduce.
