DESCRIPTION

"Gaba Oolong" (handpicked) is made in the Alishan natural reserve (central Taiwan). During the manufacturing process, tea leaves passed through multistage vacuum fermentation.

Dry leaf: small, spherically twisted pellets of brown color. The aroma is warm, intensive, fruity-biscuit. The liquor is transparent, golden almond color.

The bouquet of brewed tea is bright and warm, fruity-biscuit, with herbal, caramel and berry nuances. The aroma is sweet, warm and deep. The taste is full-bodied and smooth, sweetish with delicate berry sourness, transforming into refreshing finish.

Brew tea with hot boiling water (90-95°C) in a porcelain gaiwan or a teapot of porous clay. The proportion is 5 g per 100 ml. The first infusion should last for 15-20 seconds. After that do short steeps (just for 8-10 seconds), increasing steeping time for each subsequent step, if necessary. You can repeat this method up to 9 times.

Excellent ceremonial tea – delicious, smooth and long. Relieves fatigue and nervous tension, relaxes the body and refreshes the perception.

Cultivation and Harvest

Grown at an altitude between 500 and 800 meters, it is hand-picked during the spring harvest, following the standard of one bud with one or two leaves. The production process includes withering, pan-firing, shaping, and drying, preserving the tea's vibrant green hue and elegant form.

Preparation and Flavor

This tea brews into a clear, bright infusion with a sweet, refreshing taste and a lingering floral aroma. Revered for its "fresh and smooth" character, Liping Sparrow Tongue offers a gentle and satisfying experience, making it a favorite among green tea enthusiasts.

Benefits

Rich in polyphenols, catechins, and amino acids, Liping Sparrow Tongue tea supports health by promoting digestion, boosting metabolism, and providing antioxidants. For the best flavor, brew with water at 80°C to allow the leaves to unfurl and release their delicate essence.
