B’LAO OOLONG TEA: THE ESSENCE OF THE HIGHLANDS

B’Lao Oolong Tea is a signature product from B’Lao (now known as Bảo Lộc and Bảo Lâm), located at an altitude of over 1,000 meters above sea level. This region provides the ideal environment for High Mountain Oolong Tea, originally from Taiwan, to thrive and flourish. Oolong tea from Lâm Đồng has gained recognition in the Taiwanese market and has become one of the most beloved products.

STRICT PROCESSING PROCEDURE:

Unlike other teas, B’Lao Oolong Tea undergoes a complex production process that is strictly monitored from cultivation, harvesting, to processing. Each batch of fresh tea requires 48 continuous hours of meticulous work by skilled artisans. From withering, tossing, fermenting, pan-firing, rolling, primary drying, shaping, to final drying, every step demands precision and expertise to ensure optimal product quality.

What makes B’Lao Oolong Tea unique is the absence of a fixed formula for its production. Each harvest varies in quality due to natural factors, requiring artisans with extensive experience to adjust the time and method for each stage to deliver the best results.

DISTINCTIVE FLAVOR PROFILE:

• Aroma: B’Lao Oolong Tea carries a delicate, fresh, and refined aroma.
• Taste: It offers a pure, sweet taste unique to B’Lao Oolong, with a gentle sweetness and minimal astringency, providing a soothing and refreshing sensation.

TEA LIQUOR:

The first few brews yield a light golden color. From the second and third brews, the liquor deepens to a golden hue, with richer and more complex flavors, delivering a delightful experience for tea lovers.

Basic Brewing Steps:

1. Warm the Teapot and Cups: Pour boiling water into the teapot and cups, then discard.
2. Awaken the Tea: Add 8-10g of B’Lao Oolong Tea (or more, depending on your preference) into the teapot. Pour hot water just enough to cover the tea, then discard this rinse.
3. Brew the Tea: Add about 200ml of hot water to the teapot. Steep for 40 seconds for the first brew and 60 seconds for subsequent brews. Pour the entire brew into a pitcher or serving cups. Leave the teapot lid slightly open after pouring to prevent the tea from over-steeping. Refill with hot water for the next brew, and enjoy up to 3-4 brews depending on the tea quality.
