GRAND OOLONG
Blue tea™ - Jardin Premier
Formosa
This tea with dark, twisted whole leaves is a fine illustration of the savoir-faire of the planters of Formosa, the 'Beautiful Island'.
The infused leaves immediately cast a spell with a predominantly flowery fragrance followed by fruity tones of apricot and black fruits. The deep brown, ocher-coloured cup reveals a powerful aroma mixing grilled barley and wild flowers, with sweet spices in the background.
A tea full of character, with a pleasant and supple texture, and an ideal introduction to highly oxidised blue teas.
