“If I ever thought that out of all the things man can create, a simple cup of tea just cannot be as pompous and presented with an ego equally large as any narcist walking.. This one is a rare treat...” Read full tasting note
Here’s a tea which will require the re-organizing of the whole western rating system. In Korea it’s called Uricha (Oo-re-cha), which means ‘Our tea’. The way it’s prepared has similarities with oolong, green, puerh and yellow tea. The Koreans categorize this tea as yellow tea. It has a long drying process and the final brew is deep, almost golden yellow. The oxidation is made the similar way as the green tea, although not by rolling as in ‘shaping’, and it’s not de-enzymed like puerh, but riped by fermenting or with time.
Dry leaves are bluish-green and quite large. The scent is roasted and nutty of which one can also find creamy chocolate and crop. The steep if deep golden yellow and it’s full with long chocolaty aftertaste.
1-2 teaspoons, 2-3 minutes, 90-95 dergrees celsius.
