Oolong tea naturally flavored with osmanthus flowers
This naturally flavored oolong tea is called "Huang JIn Cui" in China, which means "golden osmanthus tea". The oolong tea then radiates an intense golden-yellow color when infused. The aroma is characterized by the osmanthus flowers used to flavor the tea leaves. In this natural flavoring method, the tea leaves are dried together with the petals. This allows the tea leaves to absorb the osmanthus flavor in a natural way. The tea is ideal for several infusions. The natural flavor changes the taste profile with each infusion. From initially very sweet and floral aromas to more classic oolong aromas with a fruity and grassy character. The golden color of the infusion remains and the tea is very pleasant to drink throughout.
Oolong teas originally come from Taiwan and China. The peculiarity of Oolong tea is that it is semi-oxidized. Oxidation causes the tea leaves to turn brown to black and the flavor changes. Green tea and black tea are both at one extreme of this spectrum. In green tea, oxidation is stopped immediately after harvesting. Black tea is completely oxidized. The art of oolong tea is finding balance.
In terms of flavor, it bridges the gap between green and black tea and combines both the freshness of green tea and the flavors of black tea. This makes oolong tea undeniably the most flavorful type of tea. With oolong tea, you can expect a burst of flavor.
Preparation of Oolong tea:
When brewing Oolong tea, it is important to choose a teapot that is large enough to allow the mostly rolled leaves to unfold properly. Oolong tea can be prepared very well in a gaiwan or a Chinese teapot, for example made of Yixing clay. Oolong tea is also ideal for the Chinese tea ceremony with a Gong Fu Cha ceremony set.
For the first infusion, you should also choose a slightly longer infusion time to allow the tea leaves to develop. A water temperature of 80 - 90 °C and a brewing time of 2.5 - 3 minutes are best for the first infusion. All subsequent infusions can then be prepared with a preparation time of 2 minutes.
