Imperial Topaz, matured Nepal hand-rolled black tea
USD 37.80
Hand-rolled Himalayan Tips:
Although tea from this part of the world has not been best known for smoothness, there can be exceptions provided that there is the proper knowledge and experience. Together with the work of Nature. Imperial Topaz is such a tea. Hand-rolled and masterfully processed for a soft and round profile yet rich with the distinctive mineral accents representative of the region, the bright orange infusion delivers what is best from the Himalayas coupled with the modesty and gentleness of a Chinese black. Imperial Topaz is not only a gem of Nepali tea, but also an example of what can be achieved when we tea people share and work together across boundaries.

手工發酵 皇家托帕紅
Taste profile
A round and gentle nose that is earthy, malty and sweetened with notes of mulberry and Kyoho grape. Overtones of high altitude lichens after the rain. An definitive undertone of fresh cookies. Soft, medium body accented with minerals typical of the region. Mild maltiness balanced with a light fruity tone and a lighter astringency that gives good depth to the profile. Slightly sweet malty aftertaste.
Infusion tips
Unlike other Nepali or Darjeeling teas, it is possible for this tea to be infused to full strength without overly bitter or astringent. Use duration for added strength and a maximum ratio of 2g to 100 ml water. 95°C infusion temperature. Increase temperature for added pitch in the aroma and sharpness in taste. Use a fresh batch of leaves every time.

Orchid Gratus, Phoenix dancong oolong
Home, Tea, Oolongs, Fenghuang ( Phoenix ), Floral Aromas, Fuller Bodies, Neutral EnergyWudong Xingren Xiang
For people who like classic style Phoenix but desire something more mellow than Honey Orchid, Orchid Gratus offers a taste that is as full-bodied. It is balanced with as subtle a warm and slightly sweet aroma. Not only is this a great choice for the veteran tea connoisseur who seeks peace in the cup, but is also a bridge between softer oolongs and the more vibrant world of taste in Fenghuang Dancong.

Huangshan Cuiyu, maofeng green tea
Home, Tea, Green teas, Huangshan - Anhui, Lighter Aromas, Milder Tastes, Cool EnergyYuqian Huangshan Maofeng:
Huangshan Maofeng green tea is a must-have souvenir when one visits Huangshan. However, even if you know the way to real teashops rather than tourist traps, a pack of such quality as Tea Hong's Cuiyu would come at a high price. That is why this pleasant tasting and slightly sweet baked green tea is a most popular item not only for our retail, but also export. To maintain consistent high quality, we employ only harvest before the lunar almanac demarkation of “guyu” — the first rain for seeding, around early to mid-April. "Yuqian" — before the rain — is the traditional term for this.

Cassia Extraordinaire, Wuyi yancha oolong
Home, Tea, Oolongs, Wuyi-shan, Floral Aromas, Fuller Bodies, Neutral EnergyTea Hong’s Most Bouquet Wuyi Oolong
Great discipline in the use of fire distinguishes Cassia Extraordinaire from most other Wuyi varieties with a supple, deliciously floral and delicate scent balanced with a full, lively body. Thanks to this masterful baking, this lighter style Wuyi oolong keeps well and improves with extended storage, as it should traditionally. This is our most “bouquet” style Wuyi oolong, being on the other end of the scale as the deep baked classic style Cassia Classic or Red Cloak Grande in Tea Hong’s proud Wuyi repertoire.

Shiguping Wulong, rare Phoenix oolong
Home, Tea, Oolongs, Fenghuang ( Phoenix ), Lighter Aromas, Fuller Bodies, Neutral-Cool EnergyRare Indigenous Cultivar:
To us, offering the extremely rare Shiguping Wulong is not a challenge enough. We think we should give you the best of its kind. Trekking further deep into the mountain above the elusive main village of Shiguping we found the patch of land which the locals called Liao-xi-ya, where it all began. The tea is softer, yet fuller and even more complex than that in the main village. The very original Shiguping Wulong*, as highly acclaimed by the man who devoted all of his life in advocating oolongs of Phoenix, the 74 years-old tea specialist Huang Bozi. |
