TASTING NOTE

The Perfect Balance Between Dong Ding Terroir and Citrus
Lupicia's "Amanatsu" Oolong Tea is a celebration of freshness. It rests on a prestigious base of Dong Ding Oolong tea from Taiwan, recognizable by its leaves carefully rolled into small pearls. This exceptional tea is delicately flavored with Amanatsu, an iconic Japanese mandarin renowned for its fresh and natural aroma, offering a masterful balance between sweetness and vibrancy.

AROMATIC PROFILE
Freshness and Delicacy

This blend is distinguished by its easy-drinking character and luminous aromatic profile:

  • Appearance: A clear, bright, golden color.
  • Nose: A lively and zesty aroma of fresh mandarin that harmonizes instantly with the floral notes of the Oolong.
  • Palate: The citrus notes support the naturally fruity aroma of the tea with exquisite finesse. The experience is marked by a complete absence of acidity or bitterness, resulting in a silky-smooth and thirst-quenching sensation.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS THINK

Customer feedback on Amanatsu Oolong Tea enthusiastically highlights the balance between the elegance of Taiwanese tea and the freshness of Japanese citrus. Reviews submitted via Certishopping, Google, and tasting notes reveal a tasting experience that is both indulgent and refined:

  • A remarkably authentic aroma: Consumers are captivated by the natural expression of Amanatsu, describing a juicy and zesty mandarin that never veers into artificiality.
  • The smoothness of Oolong: Many reviews mention the quality of the Dong Ding type leaves, appreciating their creamy texture and the complete absence of bitterness or acidity, even after several minutes of steeping.
  • The champion of iced tea: It consistently returns as a "summer favorite," with customers praising its thirst-quenching power and its ability to be cold-brewed with great ease.

THE BENEFITS OF OOLONG TEA

  • Digestion and Lightness: True to the properties of Dong Ding-style Oolongs, this tea is a valuable ally after meals to promote digestive comfort.
  • Energizing Effect: The invigorating aroma of Japanese mandarin acts as a true mood booster.
  • Low Oxidation: Preserves a large portion of the tea's antioxidants, while offering the smoothness of a quality Oolong.

PREPARING YOUR OOLONG TEA PROPERLY
Hot or Iced

To fully enjoy the aromatic complexity of Amanatsu Oolong Tea and the unique structure of its rolled leaves, here are our expert recommendations:

  • Water Temperature: Use filtered or spring water heated to between 85°C and 90°C. This heat allows the Dong Ding-style pearls to unfurl gradually without altering the natural freshness of the Japanese mandarin.
  • Brewing time: Infuse for 2'30 to 3 minutes. Thanks to its superior quality, this oolong develops no bitterness, offering a silky and balanced brew.
  • The Art of Re-infusion: This tea is exceptionally generous. Don't discard your leaves: they can be re-infused 1 to 2 times. Each infusion will reveal increasingly deeper floral notes from the Taiwanese terroir.
  • Iced Tea (Mizudashi): For absolute freshness, place 10g of tea in 1L of chilled water in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. You will obtain a fruity, clear, and naturally thirst-quenching beverage.

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.
