Oolong Royal Empress – A Regal Tea Experience
Step into a world of intrigue and elegance with Oolong Royal Empress, a tea that embodies the complexity and richness of royal life. Just as empresses have captivated hearts and minds throughout history, this exquisite Oolong tea offers a captivating blend of flavours and aromas.
For instance, consider the story of Empress Chen Jinfeng (893-935), the third wife of Wang Janjun, ruler of the state of Min during the Chinese Five Dynasties & Ten Kingdoms period. Her life was filled with dramatic twists, including surviving her father’s assassination and living as a concubine before ultimately becoming an empress. Such a remarkable and intricate life reflects the nature of this exceptional tea.
Why Choose This Oolong?
Crafted with Care: To create this stunning Ti Kuan Yin Oolong, artisans follow eight meticulous steps:
- They pluck soft downy buds.
- The plucked leaves wither in the sun.
- Next, the leaves cool down.
- Then, they toss the leaves to promote oxidation.
- The leaves wither again, turning slightly brown.
- After that, they fix the leaves to allow them to rest.
- The leaves are rolled into their characteristic Ti Kuan Yin shape.
- Finally, they dry the leaves to perfection.
As a result, you receive a picture-perfect tea that’s truly fit for a queen.
Deliciously Simple: Thankfully, enjoying this tea is much less complicated than its production. Simply steep, sit back, and savor the delightful flavors. With each sip, you’ll experience the harmonious blend of floral notes and a smooth, creamy finish.

HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Briefly infuse with freshly boiled water and then pour off. Re-infuse the tea and pour after about 1 minute or longer to taste. Milk & sugar are not recommended. Ideal Brewing Temperature: 85ºC/185ºF. For Food Safety reasons bring water to 100ºC/212ºF and let it cool down to 85ºC/185ºF.
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher, straining the leaves or removing the tea bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the leaves or removing the tea bags. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
