Both ingredients of this tea, the Jinxuan Oolong as well as the leaves of the Nuo Mi Chiang plant (bot. Strobilanthes Nivea Craib) come from the mountainous region Chiang Rai in Northern Thailand. According to tradition, 90% of tea is blended with 10% of herbs, while the tea leaves were previously oxidized for approximately 8 hours. Together, they are then fermented again for another 16 hours. As a result, you receive a pleasantly mellow tea with an incomparable, intense scent and taste of cooked rice.
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.
This select specialty is only produced in the mountainous region Nantou in Taiwan and is valued highly by tea connoisseurs around the world. It is only briefly pre-fermented and firmly rolled by hand as opposed to other Oolongs. The relatively short fermentation time ensures the rather light and fresh character, in contrast to the rather heavy, green Oolongs which have a more tangy depth and spicy body. The leaf structure shines in olive and jade shades. The cup is a light amber color. The first infusion is very vivid and reminds of the scent of peach blossoms.
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.
