Beloved Leaves

From the mountainous Chiang Rai region comes this highly oxidized oolong with its natural, honey-like sweetness. In contrast to lightly oxidized oolong teas, it boasts a stronger, malty taste, similar to black tea.

The preparation

Give the precious tea leaves plenty of space to expand fully. Use a large tea strainer or brew the leaves in a teapot, then strain them into a serving pot. We recommend multiple infusions for your Oolong to let it reveal its complex flavors layer by layer.

The processing of the tea

Just before the rain season, small leafhoppers called tea jassids nibble on the tea plants. What initially seems like an unwelcome interaction is crucial to Beloved Leaves' unique flavor. The insect bites trigger the plant's impressive defensive reaction, turning the tips white and imparting an incomparable, honey-like sweetness and complex aroma. After harvesting, the leaves are withered, pan-fired, and rolled into oolongs following the traditional process.

Chiang Rai, Thailand

The origin of the tea

The Oolong tea variety Oriental Beauty, originally from Taiwan, is also cultivated in northern Thailand. In the hilly region at around 1400 meters altitude, the tea plants benefit from the ideal climate and mineral-rich soils. On this 150-hectare farm, several well-known Oolong cultivars are grown to produce the finest Oolong tea.
