How much caffeine is in Taiwan Mi Xiang Honey Oolong?

Each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains approximately 36 mg of caffeine. For comparison, a standard 8 oz cup of brewed drip coffee contains around 95 mg. Actual content varies with dose, water temperature, and contact time.

What temperature should I use for Taiwan Mi Xiang Honey Oolong?

Target 95°C (203°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Taiwan Mi Xiang Honey Oolong be extracted?

Extract for 0:30-3:00 depending on infusion style using Gaiwan / Gongfu, at a ratio of 10g leaves per Liter of water, prepared at Compressed Leaf or Whole Leaf. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Taiwan Mi Xiang Honey Oolong taste bitter?

Bitterness almost always indicates over-extraction. Shorten the contact time, lower the water temperature slightly, or use less leaf. Change one variable at a time so you can tell which one was responsible.

Who should avoid Taiwan Mi Xiang Honey Oolong?

Caffeine and serving strength vary with dose, preparation, and individual sensitivity. Use individualized guidance for pregnancy, medication interactions, allergies, reflux, or other health concerns. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.

That is 36 mg in a 8 oz cup (240ml) serving — a concentration of 15 mg per 100 ml. The scale above ranks whole servings, and servings differ in size, so a larger drink can sit further right while being weaker cup for cup.
