The best we have been offered in the last years. Finest, white leaf tips crown the marvellous Oolong leaf. Also in the infusion the leaf structure of the whole shoots is clearly visible. An intense flowery bouquet and a highly aromatic, very soft cup are overwhelming. A slightly doughy spiciness completes this extraordinary treat. A top tea for connoisseurs; its noble taste lingers for a long time. This unique treasure is characterized by highly aromatic sweetness and a distinct flower. Limited production!
Probably one of the most unusual tea specialties in terms of production as well as character is produced almost entirely by hand in the Province of Fujian. Immediately after withering the still moist leaves are heated shortly in milk water steam, which conserves the pretty, lightly olive-green leaf and cup color and invokes the distinct creamy scent and taste. Subsequently, the leaves are rolled manually and dried. An extremely mellow tea, which we are sure, will quickly win over many new lovers.
Oolong is a specialty, which had originally been produced in the Taiwanese mountains. After plucking, the teas are pre-fermented by approximately 50 % and then wilted in the sun. Frequent turning of the tea in bamboo baskets during the drying process allows the Oolong to develop a mild aroma and a large, wildly curled leaf. After steeping, the still green leaf center with the fermented leaf edges becomes clearly visible. It is very light in the cup and has a very flowery and spicy taste.
This leaf with its many shades of green and brown is only produced in the Taiwanese highlands. Stopping the fermentation process at the right moment leaves only the edges fermented, whereas the leaf center remains green. This quality has a fleshier and more finely processed leaf than standard Oolongs, giving the cup a brassy color. The infusion shows the blaze of color with the differences between intense green and brown colors. The tea has a slight black tea character with a pleasant sweetness and a slightly doughy note.
An exquisite tea paradise! The Dark Pearl Oolong is cultivated in the Tai Tung Region in eastern Taiwan and belongs to Oolongs that are fermented for longer durations. The excellent climatic conditions with rich rainfall and plenty of sunshine form the ideal conditions for this wonderful tea. The leaves are plucked by hand and brought into their well-developed pearl shape by hand after the production. The glowing amber cup emits an aromatic scent of tropical fruits, which you will detect again on your palate.
