Oriental Beauty Oolong

Premium Oriental Beauty Oolong The aroma is immediately honey and fruit that fills the table.  Take a moment to inhale and let it fill your lungs.  The first honey sweet sip will bring calm to your body.  The tea reminds me of caramel apples.  Additional steeps will have stronger flavor that sits it the middle of your tongue for long minutes of finish. Tea: 5gWater: 5oz., 180°Steep: 1, 2, 3, 4Time: 15, 15, 30, 40 sec. Maker Notes: This Premium Grade Oriental Beauty is blended from multiple lots and lightly baked to harmonize the taste and aromatics. This lot features the characteristic presence of white furry tips accompanied by the 2 following leaves which are carefully picked in the summer time. Oriental Beauty is a summer tea as the grower hopes his crop will receive the visit of small green leaf hoppers that will nibble the leaves and leave their characteristic contribution to the taste of this tea: a wonderfully sweet honey finish that is quite distinctive and pleasant. A more pronounced oxidation confers a wonderful fruitiness to the liqueur followed by a long controlled drying sequence that lightly bakes the leaves and helps to blend in and seal all the expressive characteristics of this tea.
