Ingredients
100 % Oolong Taiwan Nantou Ming Jian HongBrew & Taste
As the name suggests, the infusion is coppery red. Hints of caramel and fruit complement the full and intense flavor with a velvety texture.
Origins
The Nantou region is the only one located in Taiwan's inland. Yet within it lies the city of Ming Jian. Its name can be translated as "a wet place". Therefore, it is not surprising that agriculture is thriving there.
The tea gardens are especially famous, with the Four Seasons cultivar being predominant. Growers are generally not welcoming to bugs and other pests in their crops, however, here the local oolong producers wait impatiently for them every year. They are small cicadas with the Latin name Jacobiasca formosana.
Not only is the presence of these insects proof of the unpolluted nature and organic cultivation, but as they nibble on the leaves, these cicadas release a solution that makes the resulting oolong a unique affair. In fact, tea leaves can begin to slowly oxidize on the tree after the disturbance, which, in conjunction with the compounds in question, is what accounts for the unique aroma.
Nantou Ming Jian Hong Shui Oolong is characterized by a slow oxidation rate of between 30-40%. This is followed by manually wrapping the leaves into tiny beads and final drying. The resulting oolong has distinct characteristics, but together they create a perfect harmony.
