Spring ripple

Awaken your senses with this aromatic floral Pouchong oolong from northern Taiwan, it's spring in a cup! The dry leaves are deep dark green with bright green hues, rolled length-wise. The translucent light yellow-green liquor shines. It's light bodied, smooth, silky, with a long sweet and floral finish.

Spring Ripple is a Pouchong tea, also known as baochong. It is one of the most popular teas from Taiwan. Its name means “wrapped tea” and refers to the traditional processing method (no longer in use for the most part) of wrapping the leaves in paper during the drying stage. 

The tea leaf processing involves a light (10%) fermentation, a gentle (~5-10%) roasting, and a distinctive 'non-scenting' technique. You'll notice a subtle, sweet floral aroma both before and after brewing. It's intriguing how natural, unscented tea leaves can evoke such delicate floral notes.

For an unparalleled experience, savor this tea as a cold brew. This allows its intricate floral notes to unfold gradually, ensuring a refreshing and harmonious infusion that embodies the essence of this exceptional tea.
