Choosing and brewing.
Which teas does Kings Tea make?
Mainly Wuyi rock tea (oolong): Rou Gui, Shui Xian and Da Hong Pao, in several grades. We also make Wuyi black tea. Grades, lots and formats available for export are confirmed per enquiry.
How should I brew Wuyi rock tea?
A common starting point is a small gaiwan or teapot, about 5–8 g of leaf for 100–110 ml of water just off the boil, a quick rinse, then short infusions starting around 10–15 seconds and lengthening as you go. Read the brewing guide.
Can I order samples?
Yes, for tea shops, importers and tea clubs. Tell us which teas interest you and your destination; sample selection, quantity, cost and delivery are agreed with each enquiry.
