Category: Feuilles en vrac
Un thé oolong chinois qui, selon la légende, aurait poussé sur les hauts sommets de Chine, au milieu de ruisseaux frais et d'un air vif et pur. Le Tie Guan Yin est composé de feuilles tendres qui sont délicatement secouées dans un panier immédiatement après la récolte pour briser les cellules et permettre une semi-oxydation. Croyez-nous, vous aurez envie de le réinfuser.
The basket-tossed process must be doing something right—each steep gives me that creamy, floral aroma that fills the whole kitchen. I’ve been brewing it gongfu style and the leaves hold up for six infusions without turning bitter, which is exactly what I want from an oolong at this price point.
The leaves unfurl beautifully with each steep, and the aroma of that cool, high-altitude air really comes through in every sip. I’ve already gone through half the bag in a week, it’s that easy to keep brewing cup after cup.
The gentle basket-tossing really shows in how intact the leaves stay—each steep releases a new layer of smooth, slightly floral depth. I’ve already brewed it three times this week and it just keeps giving.
