Master's Collection: 1988 Cloudgate oolong
Regular price
€59,00
Price includes VAT.
A beautifully aged oolong from 1998 from Ali Shan, Taiwan obtained through a publisher in Taiwan. It has been stored airtight in dry conditions, allowing the tea to mature and develop and hasn't been reroasted. It is a true explosion of aroma, the flavour is roasty, woody, slightly cedar- and oak-like, with a deep introspective character.
This is our fifth master series release - a curated offering of small portions of aged teas from a byegone era. Rare leaves, gathered over the years of travel and personal connections across China and Taiwan, usually just a few tins of each tea available in total. This is a unique chance to glimpse back in history, learn and appreciate tea in its beauty. We strongly advise to treat these teas as a tea experience, not as a mere drink - taking enough time and attention, making many steepings from the same leaves, using best available water (be it natural spring water collected by yourself, or good quality bottled / filtered water) and a small teapot in less than 200ml size to preserve the aroma, flavour and essence. Generally these teas are packed in amount for 2-3 special tea sessions.
