Gui Fei Empress Oolong
Gui Fei Empress Oolong from Jenai, Nantou high mountain region, middle Taiwan. A medium oxidized oolong with a unique taste profile. The tea is made from small leafs with a few tips. When the tea plant is exposed to stressful conditions, think of little light, cold, salty sea breeze, the plant tends to develop more complex aromas, unique taste profiles and an increase of chlorophyll, which creates a deeper green leaf. This tea has been bitten by small grasshoppers, so the leaves are already oxidizing to the plant. Set at a higher temperature (90-95ºC) and in an oriental way the taste will be more fruity and intense, at a lower temperature more floral.
