OOLONG TEA: Three Moons, Vietnam

Three Moons
Oolong tea, Vietnam

Flavour: vegetal, floral and fruity ~ smooth & creamy
Three Moons is a semi-oxidised oolong that is lightly roasted multiple times over three months – or ‘three moons’ – to give it characteristics of an aged tea. This enigmatic tea reveals fascinating aromas – vegetal notes of roasted green bean intermingled with nut and fruity notes of green apple and melon, followed by a floral finish. This is the September 2021 harvest.

Three Moons is grown and processed on a 33-hectare tea farm on the rolling Moc Chau plateau at an altitude between 1100 and 1200 metres. Moc Chau lies in Son La Province, Northwest Vietnam. It is a region filled with beautiful landscapes and many tea gardens. It is also known for dairy farming and the growing of plums, apricots and flowers.

Preparation: Steep for 3 minutes at 85°. Three infusions. 

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.
