{"product_id":"himalayan-shilla-oolong-tea","title":"Himalayan Shilla Oolong Tea","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis first flush oolong is from the small Jun Chiyabari Tea Garden in the eastern Himalayan foothills region of Nepal. The Garden, established in 2001, is located at a 6500 foot elevation and is approximately 120 miles east from Kathmandu and 40 miles west of Darjeeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tea is named Shilla to honor the Hindu Vaishnav story of Shalligram, which is a black spherical rock only found in the ancient riverbed of the Gandak River in Nepal. According to the Puranas (one of the holy books) Shalligram Shila, a manifestation of God Vishnu, changed into a black rock to be near his consort, Laxmi, who had been cursed and turned into a tulsi plant by Saraswati, another Hindu goddess. The very long twisted leaves of this tea open to lovely full leaves when infused. This oolong has a medium astringency and medium body with flavor notes reminiscent of a Darjeeling. It brews a rich amber color in the cup with a fresh aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIngredients\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eoolong tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteeping Instructions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2-4 minutes at 190-209 degrees Fahrenheit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaffeinated\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNepal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCups to Grams\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 grams makes 3-4 cups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 grams makes 10-15 cups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 grams makes 20-25 cups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 grams makes 45-50 cups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 pound loose makes 180-200 cups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Stash Tea","offers":[{"title":"25 g loose","offer_id":14956768455,"sku":"114186","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 g loose","offer_id":14956768519,"sku":"111186","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/2405\/products\/B005DM5L8G.01-A15D024ANKT1KE._SX2560_SCRMZZZZZZZ_V372439809.jpeg?v=1455244891","url":"https:\/\/bva-tyler.myshopify.com\/products\/himalayan-shilla-oolong-tea","provider":"bva-tyler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
