What's the difference between an Oolong tea that's been roasted for over three weeks versus one roasted over three years? We did a taste test of two of our roasted Taiwanese Oolong teas to find out!
Our Roasted Tsui Yu Oolong Tea is made from leaves that have undergone medium oxidation, and have been roasted 3-4 times for 10-15 hours per roasting, over a 3 week period. The temperature is gradually increased within each roasting, and incrementally increased with each successive roasting - reaching 130°C or more. This extensive roasting produces a full-bodied, bold, roasted flavor profile. It basically embodies the meaning of "roasted" without going too far. It has notes of toasted grains, roasted chicory, chocolate, coffee beans, campfire, leather, tobacco - it's dense, complex, and quite satisfying for us roasty toasty Oolong fans! The roasting is done by the most competent master roaster we know. He has an award winning track record that puts him in the upper echelon of the tea competition players in the industry. He also provides us with our Lugu Competition Grade Dong Ding Oolong Tea.
Eco-Farmed Heavy Roast Oolong is made from a combination of the above mentioned cultivars in roughly equal parts: Tsui Yu, Jin Xuan, and Four Seasons Spring. All of the tea leaves used to make this tea are produced from certified organic tea farms. They are are all made in the fashion of a traditional Oolong Tea, meaning that they are medium-well oxidized - perhaps 35-40%. Following the initial processing, the leaves are allowed to "rest" for 9-12 months before beginning their long and drawn out roasting process. They are roasted at relatively low temperature for at least 20 hours, then left to rest for 3 months. They are then roasted again in a similar fashion, left to rest for 3 months, and roasted once again in the same way. Then, they are allowed to settle for about 9 months, and undergo a final light roasting to remove any moisture that may have been absorbed. It's the longest and most time consuming tea processing recipe we have ever heard of!
