Description

A delicate oolong

Nestled in the heart of a bamboo forest in the highlands of Shan Lin Xi, the tea plants thrive in an exceptional natural environment. Crafted from the Qing Xin cultivar, the leaves of this high-mountain tea are harvested at an altitude of 1,200 meters!

It offers an infinitely smooth texture that reveals bright, precise notes of vanilla, butter, and flowers, delicately coating the palate.

Suggestion of preparation

To enjoy hot:

Using a tasting set or a teapot: steep for 5 minutes in water at 90°C (195°F).

Using Gong Fu Cha: successive infusions of 30-40 seconds.

To enjoy iced:

Using a teapot or a carafe: steep 8g of tea leaves in 50cl of room-temperature water for 50 minutes. Remove the leaves and refrigerate.

Grands Crus: savour the exceptional

Rare and ephemeral, teas identified as Grands Crus by Palais des Thés are the result of alchemy between a tea plant variety, its terroir and the talent of an artisan grower. Meticulously plucked, processed and sourced in the most respected tea gardens, our Grands Crus unveil unique flavours that reflect the refinement of their origins.
