Silver Moon Himalayas, Nepal semi-oolong
USD 23.90
Nepali Oriental Beauty :
The production of genuine Dong Fang Mei Ren involves a process that is a synthesis of that of a black tea and of a white tea, in addition to bites by green leafhoppers before plucking. Tea Hong’s Silver Moon Himalaya skips the bug part and has instead a superb growing environment under the pristine air and water on the roof of the world. Also the calming chill of the night and sweet dews that shy away on the leaves on the touch of the orange ray in the Himalayan morning. Same tenderly produced by master tea makers studying from Taiwan masters, this unique semi-oolong is a gem of tea gastronomy. Can be infused using either gongfu or conventional methods.

Taste profile
Floral aroma in an overtone of freshly pressed sugarcane juice and the sweet warmth of baking cookies. Accent of watercress with hints of lemongrass and thyme. Brisk, fruity body with apple sweetness and herbaceous brightness. Bitter undertone with bites of pomelo peel. Like all teas west of Yunnan, this semi-oolong can be very strong when infused with a high leaf ratio or for a long duration. Use this to your advantage for enjoying with condiments or other ingredients. This is a great tea for testing your gongfu infusion skills because the floral and fruity aspects can be well interpreted with subdued bitterness and astringency when the “gongfu” is right.
Infusion tips
To appreciate the subtle nuances of this fine tea, always preheat the infusion vessel. Infuse at 95°C and not over 7 minutes. If you are using the gongfu approach, adjust tealeaves amount, temperature and water flow so you can infuse for at least 20 sec in the first round. Be aware that the size, shape, material and thickness distribution of the infusion vessel play vital roles in the effects of the infusion.
Unlike their Taiwan or Chinese counterparts, the adapted cultivars grown in this area yield teas with higher astringency and bitterness. Begin with 30% less than you would use Chinese blacks or oolongs in leaves to water ratio to understand how the tea relates to your palatial preference.

Cream Stout, Wuyi yancha oolong
Home, Tea, Oolongs, Wuyi-shan, Floral Aromas, Fuller Bodies, Neutral EnergySilk Finish Aijiao Wulong:
No this is not the beer but 100% pure oolong. Wuyi classic oolongs in general distinguish themselves from other oolongs with a stout, rather immediate and powerful impact. Tea Hong’s Cream Stout differs from the crowd with a soft creamy finish and a light tone of cream that is developed naturally in the tealeaves themselves. This is possible only with a new pedigree of tea cultivar, Aijiao Wulong. We believe you’ll like the oolong much better than the beer, as we do.

Danhu Old Bush Song Cultivar, Phoenix dancong oolong
Home, Tea, Oolongs, Fenghuang ( Phoenix ), Floral Aromas, Fuller Bodies, Neutral-Cool EnergyHuangzhi Xiang Dancong
Cutting away from the main trail towards the more visited Zhongxin Yin and Lizai Ping, hidden away behind a spur, there is the quieter Wudong village Danhu. Shaded on the north of the dark rock mountain, it is cool here even at 4 pm on a summer day. The tea forests here are mostly made up of bushes 2 to 3 meters tall. Occasional 3 to 5 meter ones, each occupying a circular clearing around them, grow gloriously with their wide-spread crowns. Tiny patches of vegetables grown here and there under tea trees. The few families here have been tea farmers since their grandfathers remembered. As to when the old bush for our Song Cultivar have been here, no one can really tell.

unforgettable ‘bright’ aftertaste
I’ve tried many black oolong teas from Nepal , Darjeeling and many Oriental Beauties from Taiwan. This one is right at the top. Unique bright colourful fruity aftertaste. This tea also has surprised me by its silky and smooth mouthfeel.
