Preparation tips
Oolong tea, orange, orange blossom.
100 gram bulk bag or box.
Oolong tea with rounded citrus flavors.
Low in caffeine, it can be enjoyed at the end of the afternoon.
A cup of "Nastya" Oolong tea will be the perfect touch to your late afternoon. Its lively orange notes are wrapped in a hint of orange blossom to create the perfect balance between acidity and roundness. Its touch of citrus gives it a beautiful balance between indulgence and freshness.
What is now called a "Russian taste" is a black tea (from China, India or blended) to which citrus essences have been added. This trend comes to us from the 19th century, during which black tea was enhanced with a slice of orange, bergamot or lemon.
🌱 What is oolong?
Oolong or Wulong is called "blue tea" after the color of its dry leaf, a beautiful dark blue, almost iridescent. It is what is called a semi-oxidized tea (or semi-fermented , but this name is a bad translation of the English term: semi-fermented.). It is halfway between non-oxidized green tea and black tea with high oxidation.
Depending on its oxidation (light, medium or strong), it will have a fresh and floral flavor, a buttery and nutty flavor or even a coffee flavor, almost caramelized. Its liquor varies between pale green and dark brown, always depending on its oxidation.
Oolong is a tea that generally has very little theine , so it can be drunk until late afternoon.
🍵 How to prepare your oolong properly
Black teas are less fragile than green or white teas, so they are prepared between 80 and 90°C.
A black tea will infuse for between 3 and 5 minutes. More, if you like your teas full-bodied. But be careful, the longer the infusion and the higher the water temperature, the more bitterness develops.
These instructions are important because they help preserve not only the taste of the tea, but also its health-giving properties.
❄️ Cold infusion
Put 10 to 20g of tea in 1L of cold or room temperature water. Divide into two disposable tea bags Le Jardin de Mademoiselle. Iced tea is not an exact science: the colder the water and the larger the container, the slower the tea will infuse. Taste at 20 minutes and then every 5 minutes until the taste of your tea suits you perfectly. Keep for 3 days in the refrigerator.
