Chinese Hong Shui tea (台湾红水乌龙, Táiwān hóng shuǐ wūlóng, "Taiwanese red water oolong")
Hong Shui is a unique Taiwanese oolong that combines rich taste, deep aroma and rich energy. The name "Hong Shui" is translated as "red water", which indicates the characteristic color of the infusion and the richness of the taste. This tea is produced in the mountains of Taiwan, where favorable climate conditions and fertile soils create ideal conditions for the growth of tea trees.
Peculiarities of the region
Taiwan is famous for its highland tea plantations, which are located at an altitude of 600 to 1200 meters above sea level. Clean air, fertile soils and a moderate climate create ideal conditions for the growth of tea trees. Tea from Taiwan is distinguished by its rich taste, bright aroma and balanced character.
Characteristics of tea
Appearance
The rolled tea leaves are long, curved, dark brown strands with thin stalks. The leaves are large and evenly processed, indicating high quality processing. The loose form of the tea makes it convenient for brewing and allows better control over the strength of the infusion.
Aroma
Dry tea has an intense honey rich aroma with notes of mighty trees after rain and cereal cookies. After brewing, the aroma opens up, adding shades of wild berries and a light alcoholic sweat.
Taste
The taste of the tea is rich and velvety. The infusion has a rich dark brown color with ruby reflections. The taste is dominated by warm notes of honey, cereal cookies and light woody bitterness. The aftertaste is long, with pleasant sweetish and spicy shades.
Energy and Impact
Hong Shui has a warming effect and promotes relaxation. This tea is ideal for the cold season, as well as for those who appreciate a calm and meditative tea party.
Brewing recommendations
To brew Hong Shui, it is recommended to use the steeping method in a gaiwan or a Yixing clay teapot. The water temperature should be around 95–100°C. The first steeps should be short (5–10 seconds) to reveal the aroma and avoid excessive bitterness. Gradually, the steeping time can be increased. The tea can withstand up to 8–10 steeps, each of which reveals new facets of taste.
Hong Shui is a unique tea that combines rich taste, deep aroma and rich energy. Its origin from Taiwan and the use of selected raw materials make it a real treasure for tea connoisseurs. This tea will give unforgettable moments of pleasure and allow you to feel a connection with the ancient traditions of tea art.
