Oolong tea
Tea from China - Oolong Qi Lan
Rock Teas are deeply rooted in Chinese culture. They symbolize friendship and hospitality, often served during gatherings and celebrations. In appearance, all Rock Teas look the same, but you can tell them apart when brewed. Qi Lan offers a liqueur that is both floral and fruity (plum, jujube and cooked apple) with a roasting that makes it gourmet and comforting.
Harvest: Hand-picked.
Garden details: 600–800 m altitude, located in the Jiangshi Nature Reserve, south of Mount Wuyi.
Harvest date: Late April.
Specificity: Its name comes from the QI LAN cultivar, which means "Rare Orchid" in Chinese.
Expert’s comments: In my opinion, the most floral of the Wuyi Oolongs. Both gourmet, floral, and fruity, without astringency, it brings comfort during the winter season.
Tasting moment: Depending on your sensitivity to caffeine.
Food pairing: Apricot tart.

KNOW-HOW & QUALITY
Loose teas and infusions
All our teas and the plants used in infusions are selected through the seasons by our buyers, directly from our producers. All products are chosen for both their visual appearance and their organoleptic qualities. Compliance tests are then commissioned from a COFRAC-accredited external, independent laboratory before any orders are placed.
Once received, batches are placed in quarantine while we carry out two more tests. The first is an organoleptic test completed by our specialists (taste, smell and visual). The second comprises a series of analyses at a COFRAC.-accredited, independent, external lab.
At our factory, we have developed special optical sorting and dusting equipment for our raw ingredients. Delicate items are sorted by hand.
Our teas and infusions are unique recipes available loose, boxed and in sachets. The loose leaf format is the most environmentally friendly choice.
