Absolutely! High-quality oolong and white teas are designed for multiple infusions. Oolong teas can typically be steeped 6-8 times, with each infusion revealing different flavor notes. White tea can be re-steeped 3-5 times, then you can boil the white tea. This makes premium loose-leaf tea very economical compared to tea bags.

For best results, use 5-7g of tea per 150ml of water at 100°C (212°F). Rinse the leaves briefly with hot water, then steep for 10 seconds for the first infusion. Oolong tea can be re-steeped 5-8 times, increasing steeping time by 5-10 seconds each time. Use a gaiwan or small teapot for the traditional gongfu brewing method.

Oolong tea contains moderate caffeine (30-50mg per cup), less than black tea but more than white tea. White tea has the lowest caffeine content (15-30mg per cup), making it perfect for evening drinking. The exact amount varies based on brewing time and tea-to-water ratio.

Da Hong Pao and Wuyi rock teas offer numerous health benefits due to their rich polyphenol and antioxidant content. Regular consumption may support cardiovascular health by helping to regulate blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The tea's natural compounds can aid digestion, boost metabolism, and support weight management. Rock tea is also known for its calming yet energizing effect—it contains L-theanine which promotes mental clarity and focus without the jitters associated with coffee. The high mineral content from the unique Wuyi terroir provides trace elements that support overall wellness.

Da Hong Pao is a premium oolong tea from the Wuyi Mountains in China, known as one of the most famous Chinese teas. It features a rich, roasted flavor with mineral notes and a smooth finish. Our Da Hong Pao is sourced directly from authentic Wuyi rock tea gardens, offering the genuine "rock charm" (岩韵) that makes this tea legendary.

White tea is the least processed tea type, made from young buds and leaves that are simply withered and dried. It has a delicate, naturally sweet flavor and is rich in antioxidants. White tea contains less caffeine than other teas and is known for supporting skin health, immune function, and overall wellness.

We recommend starting with a lighter oolong like our medium-roast Wuyi oolong or a Silver Needle white tea. These teas have approachable flavors—smooth, slightly sweet, and not too intense. They're forgiving to brew and showcase the quality of premium Chinese tea without overwhelming the palate.

Rock tea (Yan Cha) is grown in the unique mineral-rich soil of Wuyi Mountains, giving it a distinctive "rock flavor" with earthy, mineral notes. The tea undergoes traditional charcoal roasting, creating deeper, more complex flavors compared to lighter oolongs like Tie Guan Yin. The terroir and processing make Wuyi rock teas truly unique.
