Cui Luan Winter Rythem "Emerald Drop" Jade Oolong Tea Wihter 2016

Lots of tea lovers already knew that 2016 had the warmest winter since human began recording temperature since 1880s. The advent of this tea was mainly “thanks” to this somewhat bizarre climate phenomenon. This tea was harvested at the highest elevation of Cui Luan area, which is typically an impossible environment for any tea to have “Winter Rhythm” produced for its extremely cold weather. “Luckily,” this winter was warm enough to have such creation to happen, and the result is pure astonishment.

The tea carries an extremely unique aroma that is not able to be found on any other jade oolong. The aroma is somewhat similar to the purest Japanese Gyokuro green tea, while you can still sense the robustness of a oolong tea with a hint of green bean, and that was why we decided to bestow the name “Emerald Drop,” which is basically a direct translation of the Han characters of Gyokuro green tea. The taste of this tea is surprisingly thick and sweet, making the texture almost colloid-like.

We are not sure if there will be any tea like this to be produced in the upcoming winter, so we suggest that if having the most unique jade oolong experience if what you are looking for, this will be the only choice in this world.
