TASTING NOTE

White Peach Superior Oolong: The Elegance of Taiwan

Discover one of Lupicia's most iconic teas: White Peach Superior Oolong. This exceptional blend combines the refinement of a high-quality Taiwanese Oolong tea with the delicate, sweet fragrance of Japanese white peach. A subtle combination that offers a velvety, fresh, and intensely fruity cup.

A Taiwanese Oolong of Rare Quality

The base of this tea is a superior Oolong, carefully selected from high-altitude gardens in Taiwan. Unlike classic Oolong teas, this one is distinguished by its whole leaves, offering naturally persistent floral notes.

  • On the palate: A silky and velvety initial taste. The natural flavor of the fruit (the famous Japanese "Momo") harmonizes with the nuances of white flowers (lily of the valley, jasmine) typical of high-altitude Oolongs.
  • Texture: A fluid and rounded liquor, almost creamy, that delicately coats the palate without any astringency.
  • <Finish: An elegant aromatic persistence where the sweetness of the fruit blends with a subtle, noble vegetal note.
  • Color of the liquor: A golden yellow with emerald highlights, of great clarity.


Why choose Superior White Peach Oolong?

  • Japanese White Peach (Momo)

    A Prestigious Fruit in Japan

    In Japan, the white peach (called Momo) is much more than just a fruit: it's a symbol of longevity and refinement. Unlike Western yellow peaches, Japanese varieties like Shimizu Hakuto are renowned for their exceptionally pale skin and incomparably tender flesh. Cultivated with meticulous care, they represent the pinnacle of Japanese fruit growing.

    Why does the White Peach Enhance Oolong Tea?

    The use of white peach in this Superior Oolong blend brings a unique flavor profile:

    • A velvety smoothness: The flavor of the white peach is more floral and less acidic than that of other varieties. It perfectly complements the silky texture of Taiwanese Oolong tea.
    • An enchanting aroma: Its aromas are naturally intense. From the moment it's steeped, they release notes of sweet nectar reminiscent of a perfectly ripe fruit.
    • A floral harmony: White peach has hints of pink and white flowers that echo the naturally floral notes of high-altitude blue-green teas.

     

  • The aromatic profile of White Peach in your cup:

    • Fragrance: Floral, sweet, and lingering.
    • Flavor: Sweet, well-rounded, with no harshness.
    • Sensation: An impression of spring freshness, both thirst-quenching and comforting.

     

    The Ideal Setting for an Exceptional Fruit

    To enhance the delicate flavor of Japanese white peach, only a tea of ​​absolute finesse would do. That's why this Superior version is based on a rigorous selection of high-altitude Oolong leaves from Taiwan.

    Where a classic tea might mask the nuances of the fruit, our Superior Oolong, with its naturally floral notes and silky texture, acts as a flavor amplifier. This alliance between the velvety aroma of Momo and the purity of Taiwanese mountain gardens creates perfect harmony: a crystal-clear cup, without any bitterness, where each sip reveals the freshness of a perfectly ripe fruit.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of Oolong tea, also known as Wulong (literally "Black Dragon") or blue-green tea. This family of teas, with its clear and limpid liquor, offers unparalleled aromatic complexity, striking the perfect balance between the freshness of green tea and the depth of black tea.

What is Oolong tea or blue-green tea?

Oolong tea is a semi-oxidized tea. Unlike green tea (unoxidized) and black tea (fully oxidized), Oolong leaves undergo partial oxidation ranging from 10% to 70%. It all begins with the stirring of freshly harvested leaves in bamboo baskets. This step, which can last several hours, determines the oxidation level and the final aromatic profile. There are generally two main categories:

  • Lightly oxidized Oolongs: Similar to green tea, they reveal floral notes (lily of the valley, jasmine) and a smooth texture.
  • Highly oxidized or roasted Oolongs: These offer more complex aromas of honey, ripe fruit, hazelnut, or precious wood.
  • The secret of oxidation: Depending on the producer's expertise, oxidation varies from 10% to 70%.
  • The aromatic profile: Lightly oxidized Oolongs reveal floral notes of lily of the valley or jasmine, while the most oxidized or roasted ones release aromas of honey, ripe fruit, or hazelnut.

Taiwan: The Prestigious Terroir of "Formosa Teas"

Nicknamed "Ilha Formosa" (the beautiful island) by Portuguese explorers, Taiwan boasts ideal conditions: a tropical climate and mountains reaching over 3,000 meters. Lupicia selects its teas from the most renowned districts:

  • Nantou & Mount Dong Ding: The traditional cradle of pearl-rolled teas.
  • Taipei (Wen Shan): Origin of the famous Baozhong, a twisted tea with white floral aromas.
  • Hsinchu: Home of Oriental Beauty (Bai Hao), with its unique honeyed notes.
  • High Mountains (Gao Shan Cha): The Li Shan and Da Yu Lin mountains are home to some of the world's highest tea gardens (up to 2,600 m), producing teas of exceptional finesse and smoothness.

Why choose LUPICIA Oolong tea?

Choosing LUPICIA means accessing Japanese expertise applied to the world's finest terroirs.

  • Rigorous selection: Our experts travel to gardens in Taiwan and China to discover exclusive batches, guaranteeing impeccable freshness and leaf quality.
  • The Art of Blending: We are world-renowned for our original blends. Our best-seller, White Peach Oolong, combines the elegance of a high-quality Oolong with the juicy sweetness of Japanese peach.
  • A bridge between cultures: As a tea house of Japanese origin, LUPICIA pays meticulous attention to packaging and storage, thus respecting the integrity of each leaf, from the garden to your cup.


The Benefits of Oolong Tea: Health and Digestion

A true partner for well-being, blue-green tea is rich in polyphenols.

  • Digestive ally: In Taiwan, it is traditionally enjoyed with meals to aid digestion.
  • Metabolic action: It is renowned for its draining properties and its ability to help the body eliminate fat.
  • Smoothness: Generally low in caffeine, it provides a feeling of relaxation without the stimulating effect of a strong black tea.


How to enjoy your Lupicia tea?

Whether you prefer our plain Oolong teas (Alishan, Dong Ding) or our iconic flavored blends like White Peach Oolong, quality remains our priority.

  • Hot: Ideal for a moment of meditation or to accompany a dessert.
  • Iced: Oolong is wonderfully suited to cold brewing. Leave 8g of tea in 1L of water in the refrigerator overnight for a refreshing and naturally sweet beverage.

The Art of Infusion: The Gaiwan and Gong Fu Cha

To enhance a fine Taiwanese tea, the traditional Gong Fu Cha method is ideal. It uses a gaiwan (or zhong), a covered bowl of Chinese origin.

Why use a gaiwan?

  • Absolute control: Unlike a classic teapot, the gaiwan allows you to see the leaves unfurl and precisely control the temperature (around 95°C for an Oolong).
  • Multiple infusions: A good Oolong can be infused 4 to 6 times. Each infusion reveals new aromatic facets.
  • The pouring technique: A quick pour will bring out the floral notes (ideal for Baozhong), while a slow pour will develop the body and lingering finish of more roasted teas.
