OOLONG TEA: Imperial Beauty, Vietnam

Imperial Beauty
Oolong tea, Vietnam

Flavour: malt, wood, rose, hint of caramel - light bodied & smooth
This delicate, handmade tea comes from ancient tea trees that grow at a high elevation in the Snow Shan region of Northern Vietnam.

Naturally grown, the leaves are bitten by the Jassid insect before they are harvested, which activates a chemical reaction inside the leaf, resulting in a delicate honey note in the final tea.

An ‘open-leaf’ style of oolong, these leaves infuse into a light bodied liquor that releases a floral, malty aroma and flavour notes of malt, wood, dried rose petals and honey. 

May 2025 harvest.

Preparation: Steep for 3 minutes at 95°. Two infusions.

- or, include a sample size pouch of this tea in our Tea Sampler Box.

Infusions: specialty tea leaves can all be steeped at least twice, and often more, so each 3 gram serve (150 mls - a standard teacup size), will give you two cups ('infusions') if you steep the leaves twice. On the back of your pouch under 'Steep', you can find the number of infusions for your tea.

If you infuse your leaves at least twice, your pouch will give you the following cups of tea (or more if you infuse your leaves more times):

50 grams - 33 cups
100 grams - 66 cups
200 grams - 133 cups
