ORIGINOolong tea is a quite rare tea in Japan and is made differently by different producers. There are a lot of different cultivars used to achieve different flavor profiles. After dozens of tea tastings, I and my customers agreed that 'Koshun' is the best one speaking about fragrance, taste, and other ceremonial characteristics. Beautiful tea differs from Wulong tea produced in China and Taiwan.
This Uron cha is made from 'Koshun' cultivar, which is a hybrid between Kurawasa and Kanayamidori cultivars and is quite rare. This cultivar has a refreshing sweet fragrance and rich taste which makes highly-oxidized tea like this very complex and balanced.
ORGANOLEPTICThis tea is an excellent modern version of Japanese oolong, and is clearly different from Chinese or Taiwanese representatives of this category. With the right and careful attitude, this tea can provide an amazing and unique gastronomic experience. We highly recommend brewing this tea using the classic Japanese tea brewing method called
Sencha Do.
Dry tea leaves have a pleasant, soft, sweet aroma, with baked and honey notes. Upon closer look of the tea, you can recognize fruity, dried fruits, and sometimes berry motifs. After spending some time in a warmed teapot, the aroma is enhanced by plum and wine motifs.
The dark amber infusion produces an aromatic drink with baked notes and a soft, deep taste.
The taste reveals notes of cinnamon, plum, and dried apples. The tea leaves a long-lasting, sweet, powerful aftertaste, with a slight hint of black pepper and cinnamon at the very end. After the first brew, the tea leaf reveals stunning fruity, berry notes, unique and hard to find in other Wulong teas. A sweet aroma with notes of jam, honey, and freshly baked pastry remains in the empty bowl. This tea has a soft and at the same time deep, multifaceted taste that captivates and leads into a world of previously unfamiliar tastes and sensations.
