Oolong Imperial ORGANIC is deeply rooted in Chinese tea culture, with each component tea carrying its own rich history and significance:
China Oolong: Oolong tea originated in China, specifically in the Fujian province, where it has been produced for centuries. The name "Oolong" translates to "black dragon" in Chinese, reflecting the tea's partially oxidized state, which gives it a unique flavor profile. Oolong teas are often associated with sophisticated tea culture and are prized for their complexity.
Shui Xian: This variety of Oolong tea is traditionally grown in the Wuyi Mountains of China, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its tea production. Shui Xian, which means "water fairy" or "narcissus," is highly regarded for its quality and distinct flavor. It's often associated with the rich cultural heritage of the Wuyi region.
Tie Guan Yin: Also known as Iron Goddess of Mercy, Tie Guan Yin is one of the most famous Oolong teas from China. Its name is derived from the Chinese goddess of mercy, Guanyin, and it's often associated with a legend involving a poor farmer and a divine vision. This tea is not only prized for its taste but also holds cultural and spiritual significance in Chinese tradition.
Pouchong: Pouchong Oolong is less oxidized than traditional Oolong teas, making it closer to green tea in terms of flavor and aroma. It represents a unique style of Oolong production that bridges the gap between green and Oolong teas. Pouchong is particularly popular in Taiwan, where it has become an important part of the local tea culture.
The art of brewing and enjoying Oolong tea is an integral part of Chinese tea culture, often involving specific preparation methods and teaware. The appreciation of Oolong teas like those in this blend is often seen as a form of mindfulness and connection to nature.
Oolong Imperial ORGANIC offers a taste of this rich cultural heritage, allowing tea enthusiasts to experience a range of classic Chinese Oolong styles in a single, thoughtfully crafted blend.
