Here are some more information for Chinese Yixing:
Tea has been considered to be in a preventative medicinal category in China for thousands of years.
Black tea, green tea and oolong tea are all made from the leaves of the camellia sinensis plant. The difference in the teas is largely due to the variation in processing which will alter the color, flavor and aroma, the antioxidant value and also the caffeine level. Black tea is made from leaves that are fully oxidized, resulting in a higher caffeine level and a lower polyphenol antioxidant value. Green tea leaves are withered, steamed to prevent oxidation, and then rolled and dried thereby preserving a high antioxidant content and a caffeine level of about one half that of black tea. Oolong tea leaves are partly oxidized resulting in a drink that has less caffeine than black tea and a higher antioxidant value. Black tea generally has a strong flavor while green tea is described as tasting grassy. Oolong tea was created for those who do not particularly enjoy the grassy flavor but would like to enjoy more of the health benefits. The result is a brew that combines the flavor, aroma and color of black and green tea. The aroma of oolong is often described as floral or fruity, the taste more subtle and complex than black tea and the aftertaste is of a melon nature.
Oolong teas are difficult to produce and are considered somewhat of an art form. To produce oolong the leaves must be processed immediately after picking. The leaves are first wilted in the sun for a short period of time. They are then transferred into baskets and shaken. This causes the leaves to bruise and once the juices in the leaves are exposed to the air the oxidation process begins. The leaves are then spread out to dry until the leaf turns a bit yellow. After about two hours the tea leaves are fired by running them through a hot kiln, which stops the fermentation process.
Oolong teas have been found to offer health benefits that help with weight loss. They contain tannic acids that help the body to burn fats stored in the body. This tea has also been found to block fatty acids from being absorbed in the body after a meal. Studies have shown that oolong teas help to reduce cholesterol and speed up the body's metabolism which also helps with weight loss.
Oolong tea has become a popular favorite in Chinese restaurants. It is brewed in a ceremonial method called gongfucha. The gaiwan or Yixing clay tea pot is usually filled with more leaves than usual for the amount of water, or about two teaspoons per cup, and it is steeped with water that is 180 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. The same leaves may be brewed three to five times with the third and fourth steeping being the best. The steeping time varies from 20 seconds to four minutes and the tea is served in one to two ounce tasting cups.
Monkey Picked Oolong is the highest quality oolong tea available. Its name refers to a time when Buddhist monks trained monkeys to harvest the youngest leaves from the top of the wild tea trees.
Oolong is produced largely in the Fujan province of China and in the central mountains of Taiwan. Although popular in China and Taiwan, the worldwide consumption of oolong is only two percent. Considering the worlds' obesity problems, this tea would be extremely beneficial in the daily diets of millions of people, especially with a total calorie count of zero in each cup, provided that no sweeteners or lighteners are added to it.
