CHINE DA WU ZI

"Big Purple Leave"
Origin: China, Guangdong
Tea colour: semi-fermented (20%)

Dry leaves:
Aspect: large crumpled leaves.
Colour: green/blue.
Scents: greedy notes: vanilla, buttery, coumarin, milky (hot milk), caramel, combined with floral notes (white flower).

Brewed leaves:
Aspects: big and nice leaves, very long.
Colour: partly green with touches of red, a sign of oxidization.
Scents: very milky (hot milk), buttery, sweet vanilla, coumarin, with white flower nuances.

Liquor:
Colour: straw yellow.
Texture: a slight astringency, contrasting with the very sweet bouquet.
Aromas: intensely aromatic. Milky notes (hot milk), vanilla, butter caramel, very soft coumarin, with white flower nuances and frangipani tree.
Aromatic profile and length in the mouth: real intensity, which lingers in the mouth, becoming more lively and less sweet. It develops pronounced planty notes (sage) and fruit notes (nectarine, grapefruit). Interesting rich, intense notes. Infuse for 5 minutes for less astringency.

Our verdict:
A superb batch, wonderfully powerful and fragrant. Its rich aroma and intense notes are fully expressed when infused in the Gong Fu Cha. Well known for its "solitary tree" Wu Longs (Dan Cong), Guangdong also produces some remarkable, barely oxidized teas, like this impressive Da Wu Zi.

Preparation for Gong Fu Cha: 6 to 8 successive infusions of 30 seconds each.

Throughout the year, our experts travel in the tea plantations looking for the best pluckings and new, rare, delicious teas.

The fact that we travel so extensively, that we taste and buy on location has many advantages and allows us to find rare crops by looking outside the traditional supplier circuit, to taste and to share with you the harvests of small plantations, which are often hidden away.

Visiting tea estates regularly and thereby establishing long-lasting relations with our suppliers allows us to guarantee regular quality control of the teas we buy, and to continue our mission: to bring you the best quality teas and to share our travels and experience with you, while concerning ourselves with environmental issues, working conditions on the estates and the fair trade practices to which we adhere.
