cold brew bao zhong oolong with roses, lemon balm and tulsi

Celebrate the beauty and abundance of the season with this delicate floral summer blend, especially designed to be cold brewed and served over ice. The perfect refreshing sip for warm days.

I've selected a beautiful bao zhong oolong (traditionally cultivated without chemicals) for this blend from the beautiful heritage tea gardens of Mingjian Village, Taiwan. Sourced from a small estate that produces superb organic small-batch teas in harmony with the land and with their workers, I am delighted to use their tea in concert with exquisite organic botanicals to create this seasonal blend.

Organic tulsi (holy basil) and organic lemon balm, both grown in the Northeast and carefully dried at the peak of flavor give this blend a gentle herbal & citrus note, and support the calm, yet industrious energy of the season. Organic rose petals grown in upstate New York lend the tea a sweetly floral character. A light touch of bergamot adds a sunny brightness.

Cold brewing is one of my favorite ways to enjoy oolong, and this blend has been specifically designed to be cold-brewed and served chilled for summer refreshment. Splash about 1oz of 180F water over 1 tbsp. tea leaves, wait a few seconds, then finish with 5-7 oz more cold water, and cover. You can also multiply this recipe to brew a pitcher. Allow to steep in the refrigerator for 3-5 hours, or longer, according to your taste. Serve chilled, or over ice.

1.4oz of loose tea makes approximately 18-20 servings
