oolong teas
ORCHID OOLONG Our Orchid Oolong tea leaves are grown in the hilltops of Nantou Taiwan amongst often covered in clouds and midst and surrounded by fresh streams and the cool crisp air of the high mountains. The leaves are hand picked then basket tossed to create a semi-fermented leaf. Once the cells in the leaves are broken, they are left to soften in the sun for two hours, and then rolled for 20 minutes. This bruises the leaves and brings the juice to the surface. The juice oxidizes when it makes contact with the mountain air, a process known as fermentation. The whole process lasts three hours, after which the leaves are quickly heated to stop the fermentation. After fermentation, the leaves are rolled into kernels that wait to unfold when brewed in your pot. The special grade oolong leaves are 25-40% oxidized. It has a natural lilac flavor unique to its own and can be brewed multiple times. Each time unlocking a unique flavor. The taste is full and smooth, with a fresh orchid finish. |
