DESCRIPTION

“Tai Gaba Oolong” is a product from tea farmers from Wawi village, Changrai district (850 m altitude).

In appearance: red-brown, twisted tea shoots with thin cuttings. The aroma is intensive, fruity-and-berry. The infusion is transparent, with an amber shade.

The bouquet of ready-made tea is bright, fruity and berry with woody and spicy notes. The aroma is intense, warm, fruity. The taste is dense, oily, sweetish, with a slight grassy bitterness, sourness of fruit caramel and a refreshing finish.

Steep the tea in a hot water (85-90°C) in a gaiwan or a teapot made of porous clay. The proportion is 6 g per 100 ml. The time of the first steeping is 20 seconds. Then do short steeps (3-5 seconds) increasing steeping time for each subsequent step, if necessary. You can steep the tea up to 9 times.

"Tai Gaba Oolong" is a great choice for daily tea breaks.

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.
