Jade oolong, also known locally as Cui Yu, is named after a specific tea tree strain developed by the Tea Research and Extension Station of Taiwan (TRES). Sadly, Jade Oolong is not as common these days as growers tend to favour the hardier, higher yielding Four Season strand. Our offering comes from an experienced grower that has a long standing experience and reputation at growing superior Jade teas. He has a deep affection and understanding for this tea which shows in every cup. This light roasted, low oxidized tea will first lure you with a buttery and fresh lily aroma. This will be confirmed by the cupping of the liquor through a sweet flora taste with roasted undertones, a brief tartiness in attack, and a wondrously sweet, pure aftertaste which lasts long after the sip. This fresh new Spring 2013 crop is so expressive that a customer inquired recently as to whether this was a flower scented or flavoured tea… It is not. It is simply a very well made Lot from one of our favourite growers. Pure bliss.
