Working with organically-farmed leaves and inspired by her late father’s legacy of producing unique organic green teas from Taiwanese cultivars in China, our Tea Master has created a unique series of Made-in-Taiwan green and white teas we are proud to call Fragrant Jade.
Because we knew we were treading into new territory when making this new addition to the series and didn’t want to impose our experimentations without thoroughly evaluating it ourselves, we purposely kept this novel tea under covers since we produced it from a fine picking of very young leaves and plenty of buds from our very own garden in early April. After several months of mellowing and our growing excitment at what we were tasting, we are now thrilled to share this unique tea with you. If we did everything “by the book”, the Hong Yu T-18 would remain the fantastic cultivar that fueled the rejuvenation of the black tea sector since the turn of century as Taiwan’s Tea Research Centre (TRES) intended it to be when releasing it. But, encouraged by the result and success of our white teas made with this same cultivar, it was a natural step to process it as a green tea while taking into consideration our vast experience at growing and producing teas from this unique cultivar. The result is quite surprisingly smooth. The tannic structure of the T-18 black teas is mellowed out to reveal a pleasant mild astringency and thickness that reminds us of a baby bok choy stir fry with almonds. The taste and nose is definitely more vegetal than flowery with mild mineral notes that evokes a good sheng pu’er. We are convinced this tea will be a good candidate to aging. Although this unique tea will most likely appeal to experienced amateurs and novelty hunters, it remains quite appealing and accessible to all palates.
