Black Dragon Oolong
Black Dragon is a dark oolong with a robust, smooth and toasty profile. Our original tasting notes describe a deep amber cup with honey, caramel and roasted-nut impressions.
Brew it with the hot water and steep time below for a full-bodied cup. Enjoy it plain first to taste the roasted character, then try a second steep or pair it with a little milk in the peach and ginger oat latte recipe.
Contains Caffeine
Ingredients: Dark Oolong Tea
How to brew
- Tea: 2.5 g of dry tea per 8 fl oz (240 ml) of water
- Water temperature: 205°F (96°C)
- Steep time: 3–5 minutes, then strain or remove the tea bag.
- Cups per ounce: Approximately 11 cups per ounce (28.35 g), using 2.5 g per 8-fl-oz cup. This estimate counts the first infusion only.
Start with this guide and adjust to taste. A larger mug or stronger brew uses more tea and makes fewer cups per ounce.
