How do I brew Ruby Oolong?

Last updated on Apr 25, 2026

Ruby Oolong is a whole-leaf tea designed to release its full flavor in a few minutes. Here's how to brew it:

  1. Heat water to 180–200°F (85–93°C). Just below boiling — full boil can scorch the leaves and turn the flavor bitter.

  2. Steep one tea bag for 3–5 minutes. Less time gives a lighter, sweeter cup. More time pulls out a bolder flavor.

  3. Add lemon or honey if you'd like — both pair well with the natural honey-scented sweetness.

  4. For iced oolong: brew as above, let cool, then pour over ice.
