loose semi-fermented tea
Probably the best known Chinese oolong. As it is brewed, the large, distinctive leaves unfurl to create a honey-coloured liquor with a floral aroma and an orchid-like, smooth, delicate taste. Recommended for lovers of good quality Chinese oolong.
Preparation guidelines: Allow 1 teaspoon of tea for each 1.5 dl of water and one more for the teapot. Bring the water to the boil and then let it cool down to 90°C. Pour and leave it to infuse for 2-4 minutes. Sieve and serve. Suitable for 5 infusions.
This highly regarded, oxidised tea originates in the centre of Fujian Province. Aromatic and elegant when cupped, the large, rough leaves are pronounced and have a very fine scent. Recommended for admirers of superior Chinese oolong.
