From one of the highest plantations of the world, we would like to introduce this unusual Darjeeling Oolong with a typical first flush character! These leaves are excellently worked, slightly open and curly and contain large parts of silvery-white leaf tips and darker, fully fermented leaf portions. This excellent tea pleases with its soft and, at the same time, lively and highly aromatic taste experience and has a nutty aftertaste.
SPECIALITY!
This splendid piece of beauty is cultivated at altitudes of 1,200 to 2,100 metre and is produced by hand. As opposed to the many other, very "light" white teas, this tea will surprise you with some body and exceptional flavour nuances in the infusion. Subtle hints of elegant, floral aromas interact with smooth, fruity citrus textures. Superb! The leaf is very expressive, anthracite-coloured with many plushy, silvery leaf tips. Only recommended for tea gourmets!
RARITY!!!
A tea like an exquisite little paradise! The Dark Pearl Oolong is cultivated in the Tai Tung Region in eastern Taiwan and belongs to those Oolongs that are fremented longer. The excellent climatic conditions with overrich rainfalls and plenty of sunshine form the ideal preconditions for this wonderful tea. The leaves are plucked carefully by hand and brought into their well-developed pearl form again by hand after the production. The glowing amber cup envelops a highly aromatic scent of tropical fruits, the flavour notes of which you will detect again on your palate.
The Hualien district located at the eastern coast of Taiwan is home of this speciality: Honey Black. It is mainly produced during the summer months when the young leaves are nibbled at by small grasshoppers, which leads the leaves to stop their growth and to curl. At the same time, the salivary juice of the grasshoppers initiates a reaction with the plant juices, yielding a slightly honey-like flavour. A result, which is responsible for the name as well as the wonderful taste. A very well-worked leaf with longish, dark brown leaves and some copper-coloured tips, slightly curled. The strong, brazen-coloured, shining cup unfolds a scent, which reminds of Oolong. The floral notes with a hint of honey and some malty aromas will pamper your taste buds.
Located in southwestern China, Yunnan is the home of this exceptional black tea. This tea is plucked only between the end of March and mid-April, depending on the weather, and produced according to a special method. This the is cultivated at altitudes ranging between 1,800 and 2,100 m, in an area with a cool climate and natural woodland. The big, finely worked, tobacco-like leaf with many golden tips yileld a copper-coloured cup and strong, spicy, malty flavour combined with the typically soft, earthy Yunnan character.
SPECIALITY!!!
We are delighted to be able to offer you this tea now as an organic variety!
In China, this speciality is as popular as its partner, Jasmine Dragon Pearls. Its fine leaves are rolled to a tight ball. After the balls have been brewed, the infusion impressingly discloses the secret around the "two leaves and a bud" plucking rule. The cup impresses with an elegant champagne colour. The taste keeps the promise that the leaf and bouquet of the cup hint at: a unique, very light and mild note. A sweetish background rounds off the soft and mild taste. For green tea novices, this tea has the perfect taste to enter this new world of flavour.
A soft, well-balanced, sweet flavour which reminds of chocolate.
Select Arabica beans from Central and South America, refined with the best chili chocolate aroma, warrant a 'spicy' experience.

Apart from top tea qualities, oranges, cloves and cardamom are also cultivated on this plantation and sold on local market. The tea garden was founded in 1871 and named after the river, which forms the border on one side of the plantation. At altitudes of up to 1,400 m above sea level pure China bushes, but also hybrids of different tea bushes are cultivated. Summerly temperatures of up to 30°C are one reason for this excellent quality of a second flush tea which has ripened to perfection. A wonderfully crafted leaf with silvery tips is crowned by a flowery bouquet and a distinct muscatel flavour.
