Title: " Wuyi Qi Lan "
Translation: " The Wonderful Orchid of Wuyi "*
Whale. 武夷奇兰, pinyin wǔyí qí lán
* The hieroglyph "qi" can be translated in different ways: extraordinary, rare, amazing, etc.
Origin: Wuyi Mountains (Chinese: 武夷山, pinyin wǔyíshān), Fujian Province (Chinese: 福建, pinyin fújiàn).
The Qilan tea bush variety is grown in the Guangdong and Fujian provinces. In the 1990s, it was introduced to the Wuyi Mountains after ten years of cultivation. The tea is processed using a similar technology to other cliff oolongs, but each farmer has their own unique approach. Unlike local cultivars with aromas of narcissus, magnolia, and cinnamon, Wuyi Qi Lan has a surprising orchid scent.
Appearance, aroma and taste
A dark oolong with longitudinally twisted leaves. It smells of bright spices and floral notes. The flavor profile is smooth, with baked notes.
When warmed up with your breath, you can feel a warm, melodic aroma with notes of lightly roasted pumpkin seeds, burnt caramel and nuts.
After rinsing, a delicate citrus trail is added, with hints of shag and sea stones heated by the summer sun.
The brewed tea has a delicate, fresh, and light flavor. It boasts spicy and floral notes, including a hint of orchid, along with hints of nuts and chocolate.
As the steeping process increases, the tea retains its flavor profile well, leaving a light, refreshing aftertaste with floral notes.
With a ratio of 5g of tea per porcelain gaiwan or Yixing teapot with a capacity of up to 200ml, this oolong tea can withstand 5 full steepings.
Wonderful Orchid tea from Wuyi gives a calm and pure tea state.
It clarifies, gently tones and brings you back to your senses, calms and lifts your spirits.
