Half-fermented tea Formosa Oolong "Butterfly of Taiwan"

  • Item No. 22484
  • Package Unit: 1 bag à 1 KG
Description

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 centre remains green. This quality has a fleshier and more finely processed leaf than standard Oolongs. The cup shines in a brassy colour. The infusion shows the blaze of colour with the differences between intense green and brown colours. The tea has a slight black tea character with a pleasant sweetness and a slightly doughy note.

 2-3 minutes brewing time
90° - 100 °C water temperature
4-5 heaped tsp./1 litre

Half-fermented tea Formosa
Dark Pearl Oolong

  • Premium

A tea like an exquisite little paradise! The Dark Pearl Oolong is cultivated in the Tai Tung Region in eastern Taiwan and belongs to those Oolongs that are fermented longer. The excellent climatic conditions with overrich rainfalls and plenty of sunshine form the ideal preconditions for this wonderful tea. The leaf is carefully hand-picked and is then shaped into its distinct pearl form by repeated, careful rolling. The glowing amber cup envelops a highly aromatic scent of tropical fruits, the flavour notes of which you will detect again on your palate.

Half-fermented Tea Formosa
Fancy Oolong

    The word Oolong means “black dragon” and bears an indication of the particular production method. This select Oolong speciality fascinates with its beautiful, open and very carefully processed leaf. The many silvery-white tips are high-grade, unfermented leaf tips. They do not only look good, but also give a very remarkable tenderness to the tea. The elegant, very harmonious and flowery aroma is the reason why so many tea experts call it “the champagne among the teas”. An absolute dream for Oolong specialists!

    Classic Tung Ting "Jade" Oolong

      This select speciality is only produced in the mountainous region Nantou in Taiwan and is valued highly by tea connoisseurs around the world. It is firmly rolled and only briefly fermented as opposed to other Oolongs. The relatively short fermentation time ensures the rather light and fresh character, in contrast to the rather heavy, dark 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 colour. The first infusion is very vivid and reminds of the scent of peach blossoms.

      The best we have been offered in the last years. Finest, white leaf tips crown the marvellous Oolong leaf. 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. A highly aromatic sweetness and a distinct flower characterise this unique treasure. Limited production!

      Half-fermented tea Formosa
      Oolong

        Oolong is a speciality, which had originally been produced in the Taiwanese mountains. After plucking, the teas are fermented to 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 brewing, the still green leaf centre with the fermented leaf edges becomes clearly visible. It is very light in the cup and has a very flowery and spicy taste.

        Cinnamon Tung Ting Oolong

        • Speciality

        The Jade Tung Ting Oolong from the Nantou District in the Taiwanese highlands forms the base of this speciality. The production process is very similar to those of Jasmine or Rose tea production. The already fermented tea leaves are blended in roughly equal amounts with the cinnamon pieces and then carefully warmed in tiered driers at very low temperatures. This blend is then set aside for about a week so that the ingredients may “rest” before the cinnamon pieces are sieved out again. The final product is a very aromatic, smooth green tea with a subtle sweet, fruity cinnamon note.
