Description
Oolong tea from the Wuyi mountains in the Fujian province of China. Wuyi Oolong grows defiantly in the gaps of the mountainous rock, rendering cultivation both arduous and spellbindingly beautiful. This tea is famous for its 'dragonfly's head, frog's limbs and three colors.' The latter refers to the green, red and brown colors found in the cross-section of each leaf. Similar to other fine oolong teas, our 'Wuyi Ensemble' may be infused a number of times, with each infusion revealing a new nuance of this tea's complex flavor.
Story
Wuyi Mountains are found in the north-western part of the Fujian province of China. They are a collection of jagged-edged peaks, nearly always blanketed in clouds and fog. It is here, between the rocks, that grows one of China's more famous teas. A Royal Tea Garden was established here as early as the Yuan Dynasty, with each harvest offered in tribute to the Emperor. And from the time of the Ming Dynasty, this tea was being exported abroad. It continues to be in much demand outside China, with many fans among the British royal family.
"Great initial taste. As it sits, it becomes weaker."
"My favorite oolong, I absolutely love the barky-earthy taste."
"Wuyi Ensemble – This is the Oolong I’ve been looking for! Over multiple steeps this tea consistently offered great flavors and beautifully colored liquor. The smell of this tea, steeped and dry, is great. I think I might have to get a larger tin! I had pretty good results using the Gongfu method of brewing as well as the good old 5 minute steep. Wuyi Ensemble is definitely worth a try. "
"I'm still searching for that perfect dark oolong. To me, this one draws a lot of comparisons to Oolong #8. At first I thought I liked it a bit more, but the more I drink both of them, I feel that the #8 has a slightly sharper flavor that appeals to me more."
"I don't think this is one of adagios most popular teas, but I love it. one of my favorite oolongs. As with any oolong, you can definitely get multiple steepings out of it, so price is a little deceiving."
"This one is subtle. A light orange in the cup, with classic oolong crispness and flavor. A bit light, but I guess that's just its nature."
