The Fancy Superior grade is bestowed only upon exquisite, tippy teas such as the Taifu. Known as “Five Color Tea,” northern Taiwanese Oolongs are oxidized around roughly 60% and take on various hues of brown—from beige to sienna. The Taifu is a heady cup, a nuanced sketch of wood and stewed plum. Infuse multiple times.
Preparation: 3 g tea leaves (teaspoon measurement not recommended) per 8oz cup of filtered, boiling water. Allow to brew for 4 min.
