Beauté Orientale Organic (40g bag)
Product code:
CSTAD-499
Following the aesthetic of a Bai Hao with the cultivar (qingshin), a favourite of the Taiwanese, this "Oriental Beauty" comes to us from plantations located on the flanks of the Jingmai mountain in Yunnan (China). You can also find this Wulong tea in our bulk section under the name Bai Hao Jingmai organic.
Its long leaves with hues of ochre and khaki reveal, upon immersion in water, rich fragrances of bark and cooked pears. Its attractive amber liquor boasts sweet and tart flavors evoking citrus zest. The finish lightly cradles the palate with its nuances of sweet spices (cinnamon) and heady flowers.
This new line of product is coherent with our desire to reduce our ecological footprint, using nearly 60% less packaging than our previous line.
