Description

This oolong is one of a kind, there is no other tea like it. It is made from old qingxin plants seed planted in a grove of centuries-old camphor trees at an altitude of around 1400 to 1600 metres in the mountain of Shanlinxi. Master Luo thought of creating this connection between different trees and noticed that the Qingxin plants absorbed some of the camphor aroma.
The result is a tea that in the first infusion has sweet and caramel notes, but in the second infusion the camphor and woody-balsamic part prevails giving an incredible and eccentric aromaticity.
We recommend infusion at 85°C for gaiwan or 100-130 ml teapots, 4 g leaves for infusions of 40-60 seconds.
