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!
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 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!
For a long time, it was not possible to import certified organic teas from Taiwan due to the complicated political situation. After a lot of hard work, our Taiwanese partner finally succeeded in starting a pilot project, allowing us to source this excellently crafted organic Pouchong. The tea garden is located south-east of Taipei in the Pinglin region, which is famous for Pouchong tea. The workers here are paid a fixed monthly salary, even in winter when the tea is not being harvested. This guarantees income for the employees and a stable workforce for the garden. The tea presents itself with an open, slightly blue-green leaf and reveals its true quality on the palate: lovely orchid notes are entwined with a hint of caramel and leave a long-lasting, almost creamy flavour.
Pi Lo Chun, also known as “jade snails of the Spring” or “jade spirals”, is just about the most valuable tea that is offered by the Taiwanese tea culture. Its striking leaf appearance makes it incomparable: delicate, tightly curled, pine-green spirals with a silver to jade-coloured fluff which has a sleek, almost furry touch to it. Despite its semblance of white tea, Pi Lo Chun is purely unfermented, with a light green shining cup and a distinctly fresh scent. Its flavor is finely aromatic and fruity, with a light touch of sweetness..
