THAILAND HIGH MOUNTAIN OOLONG TEAS
WINTER 2008
200 gram (7.4 ounces) vacuum-sealed packages
Velvet Palate / Ruan Zhe Oolong Tea $19 SOLD OUT
This tea is a light, green variety of Oolong with a flavor reminiscent of artichokes and a clean floral finish. Its character is a cross between an unroasted taiwan oolong and a mainland China whole leaf green tea. It is simple and refreshing, with enough substance to brew a balanced flavor that can endure several infusions. Being a greener oolong, it might be better brewed with water slightly under boiling temp, with an ample amount of leaves and a bit longer brewing time. When made just right, this tea yields that wonderful smooth viscous texture that carries a balanced bouquet of flavor.
NOTE: The above tea selection is named according to the varieties or strains of tea plants from which it is produced, thus we have chosen to use the Chinese pinyin terms in conjunction with the loose English translations.
