Produktdetaljer

Denne teen er laget i Nord-Taiwan og er tvunnet (i motsetning til den kuleformede stilen). Den høstes rundt juni, som er senere enn andre oolong-teer. Dyrkerne lar en bladhopper (Jacobiasca formosana) angripe tebladene. Plantene frigjør en forbindelse i selvforsvar som vi synes smaker deilig lik fersken. Mike så plantene i forsvarsposisjon på en tur til Taiwan; han syntes det var fascinerende å observere denne bemerkelsesverdige botaniske prosessen.

Christopher O. ★★★★★

The twisted leaves brew up a darker, more honeyed cup than I expected from an oolong, and that late June harvest gives it a depth that’s hard to find elsewhere. My first steep was a little strong, but once I dialed back the water temp it turned silky and rich.

Henry X. ★★★★★

The later June harvest really shows in the depth here, and I love how the twisted leaves hold up for multiple steeps without turning bitter. There's a quiet, steady sweetness that builds with each rinse, exactly the kind of complexity you want in a slow afternoon cup.

Stella ★★★★★

The twisted leaves unfurl beautifully in a glass pot, and that later June harvest really gives it a mellow depth I don't get from balled oolongs. Even the third steep holds its character, which is rare for me.
