ZEN8TEA Taiwan High Grade Organic ORIENTAL BEAUTY Oolong Tea Hand-Plucked Leaves

Description: ZEN8TEA Taiwan High Grade Organic Oriental Beauty Oolong Tea Fermentation: 60% - 70%Hand-Plucked Leaves In the catalog of Taiwanese teas, Oriental Beauty deserves its own page. Its uniqueness is due to nature's help in the cultivation process: as the leaves' edges are eaten by crickets, oxidization starts before the tea is even picked. Up until the nineteenth century, these leaves were discarded as inferior, until one farmer sold his stock for export to Western Europe. The name Oriental Beauty is said to have come from the Queen of England when she had her first cup. Oriental Beauty has many names, and this harvest honors all of them. Known as 'five-colored tea' and as 'hairy tea', the leaves are long, knotted strands that range from dark brown to silver, the lightest ones marked by a thin fur that is identical to white tea. Soaked, the leaves transform to an even reddish brown hue, showing how much oxidization has taken place. Oriental Beauty has a characteristic palate, mixing honey and cinnamon into a heady and lingering aroma. Brew it light enough and you will get a little briskness added to the overall feeling, which closely resembles that of a silver tip tea. The darker you brew it, the sweeter it gets (though there are limits, of course). A magnificent tea, elegant and generous in its uniqueness. dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd ZEN8TEA Thé Oolong Beauté Orientale Bio - Haut de Gamme de TaïwanFermentation: 60% - 70%Feuilles cueillies à la mainDans le catalogue des thés taïwanais, Oriental Beauty mérite sa propre page. Sa particularité est due à l'aide de la nature dans le processus de culture : comme les bords des feuilles sont mangés par de petits insectes, l'oxydation commence avant même que le thé ne soit cueilli. Jusqu'au XIXe siècle, ces feuilles étaient considérées comme de qualité inférieure, jusqu'à ce qu'un agriculteur vende son stock pour l'exporter vers l'Europe occidentale. On dit que le nom Oriental Beauty viendrait de la reine d’Angleterre lorsqu’elle prit sa première tasse. La Beauté Orientale a de nombreux noms, et cette récolte les honore tous. Connues sous le nom de « thé aux cinq couleurs » et de « thé poilu », les feuilles sont de longs brins noués allant du brun foncé à l'argent, les plus clairs étant marqués par une fine fourrure identique au thé blanc. Trempées, les feuilles se transforment en une teinte brun rougeâtre encore, montrant l'ampleur de l'oxydation. Oriental Beauty possède un palais caractéristique, mêlant miel et cannelle dans un arôme capiteux et persistant. Infusez-le suffisamment léger et vous obtiendrez un peu de vivacité ajoutée à la sensation générale, qui ressemble beaucoup à celle d'un thé à pointe d'argent. Plus vous le préparez foncé, plus il devient sucré (même s’il y a des limites, bien sûr). Un thé magnifique, élégant et généreux dans sa singularité.
