Description
This oolong is a unique, frosted tea from Taiwan. It is a blend of leaves of different varieties that have been expertly matured by an experienced tea master. The tea was harvested in 1997.
The dry leaves are tightly rolled and have a dark appearance, which is the result of long-term ripening and regular arming. The taste is delicate and soft. Although this tea has been roasted several times, it does not have a distinct roasted flavor. The overall taste is fruity, but woody and slightly earthy notes can be detected. Its profile is very complex with a very interesting texture.
Mature oolongs are produced in the same way as any other oolong. They are then left to mature for several years. However, to prevent the tea from spoiling as it ages, it must be stirred and baked at least once a year – a very laborious process that requires the skills of the tea master.
