Here are some more information for China Tea:
A simple guide about how to make a cup or pot of tea using Chinese flowering tea-balls. A very simple way to make a great cuppa. Brewing tea does not have to be the arcane mystery it is sometimes cracked up to be. By using Chinese flowering tea-balls, you will always know when your drink is ready to be enjoyed. Flowering tea is made by hand through an innovative and complex process that entwines the highest grade special green and black tea of fresh spring crops with natural herbal flowers.
Flowering or blooming tea, is a small bundle of dried tea leaves and flowers bound together with cotton thread into a ball. When immersed in boiling water, the cotton falls away and the ball unfolds into a wonderful centrepiece for your teapot or glass. The result is a most unique appearance, splendid infusion view and lingering flower scent. Taste our tea and you will enjoy every moment of the tea drinking experience
Brewing method:
* Put the flowering tea-ball into glass teapot or a glass (the glass should be better about 9.5cm in height and over 6.5cm in diameter to allow for flowering).
* For best results, a glass tea pot should be used for brewing.
* Pour boiling water into the container, fill up to about 1/3 full.
* Wait about 20 seconds to let the ball get wet, then top up with the remaining 2/3 water.
* Now sit back and watch as the ball starts to unroll - to is quite a unique display. After a minute or two, the flower inside will bloom from tea-ball.
* Once it has finished flowering, then it is ready for you to pour and enjoy.
Flowering tea-balls are specially created so that they do not make the tea go bitter with prolonged steeping, so this means you can refill your teapot with more boiling water to extend your drinking experience. Creating a unique pot of tea is very simple and can be quite enjoyable to watch and drink each variety.

Chinese Tea - Oolong Tea Brewing

Brewing Instructions
There are four main methods of steeping tea, two conventional and two traditional. Since I’m only referring to Chinese loose leaf teas, the principles behind all these methods need a bit of further explaining for those crossing the bridge from tea bags to fine loose teas. Remember, tea is still always a matter of letting leaves sit in water and then enjoying, so don’t be put off by all the methods written below for making a cup of Chinese tea – It’s still a cup of tea!
The first principle of tea steeping to remember is that the few leaves/pieces/bits/rolls of tea that you start with can be used to produce dozens of rounds of tea. How many rounds is dependent on the type of tea and often the quality as well. Each time you brew one round of tea, it is called an ‘infusion’. Once the liquid is removed or ‘decanted’ it can again be used with more hot water and ‘reinfused’; creating another infusion. All of these main tea methods exist as ways for infusing tea, decanting, and then pouring into cups. The idea is to preserve the leaves while you drink the tea to allow them to resist further infusions and continue to properly let out flavor. For example, if you are planning on drinking tea alone and make a whole pot for yourself, without decanting the pot of tea, the leaves will let out their entire flavor into the first infusion while you drink your first cup! That isn’t to say that decanting is 100% necessary, just as long as you have enough tea drinkers to empty a pot.
How
Oolong Tea
is produced
Manual production method supported by tradition and craftsmanship.
The production of delicious oolong tea requires time-honored tradition and outstanding craftsmanship. Tea leaves are picked on the morning of a clear day. They should be picked in units consisting of one bud and three leaves and exposed to the sun. This is the first stage. The second stage is to dry them indoors to promote fermentation. The most crucial part in the production of oolong tea is when to stop fermentation. As oolong tea is fermented to some extent, it is called semi-fermented tea. Experience is required to identify the best time to stop the fermentation, which is when the leaves are 30% red and 70% green. After this, they are rubbed repeatedly to generate good flavor, aroma, and texture. Then they are dried using charcoal. At the final stage, a tea master grades the quality according to the flavor and characteristics of each batch. China’s Fujian Chaye Jin Chukou Gongsi (Tea Import and Export Corporation and Fujian Tea Association) exports oolong tea to Japan.

In China, tea has historically been used as a medicine. Many studies have been carried out up to the present day about the effects of tea. It has been known for some time that tea helps to control obesity and this is common knowledge in China. A Chinese classical pharmaceutical book called the Bencao Shiyi (The Compendium of Materia Medica) states, “Drinking Chinese tea for a long time will make one live long to stay in good shape without becoming too fat and too heavy.”
A cup of tea in the morning sets the pace of the day. Sitting and chatting with a few good friends over a couple rounds of tea makes life worth living. Brewing Chinese tea calms me down.Chinese tea is more than just something to drink. It has in fact become a way of life for many.
