Product description
Following the aesthetic of a Bai Hao with the Qingshin cultivar, a favourite of the Taiwanese, this organic Wulong tea called "Oriental Beauty" comes to us from plantations located on the flanks of the Jingmai mountain in Yunnan (China).
Just like on Taiwan’s island, the harvest comes in the summer. In June, a small insect (Jacobiasca formasana) visits the tea gardens.
The bitten leaves secrete hormones to defend themselves.
Theses hormones give the leaves their unique aromatic potential. You can also find this Wulong tea in our bulk section under the name Bai Hao Jingmai organic.
Its long leaves with hues of ochre and khaki reveal, upon immersion in water, rich fragrances of bark and cooked pears.
Its attractive amber liquor boasts sweet and tart flavors evoking citrus zest.
The finish lightly cradles the palate with its nuances of sweet spices (cinnamon) and heady flowers.
This line of product is coherent with our desire to reduce our ecological footprint and has merited two major DUX awards in 2022 for its eco-packaging initiatives.
