Beauté Orientale Wulong Tea 40g

Details

"Beauté Orientale" is an exceptional Organic Wulong tea that honors the prestigious Taiwanese "Bai Hao" tradition. Cultivated on the flanks of Jingmai Mountain in Yunnan, China, at an altitude of 1400m, this tea utilizes the esteemed Qing Xing (Qingshin) cultivar.

The unique character of this tea is born in the summer harvest when the tea gardens are visited by a small leafhopper (Jacobiasca formasana). The interaction between the insect and the plant causes the leaves to secrete natural defenses, unlocking a distinct and complex aromatic potential.
