The Orient Cha Philosophy: A Labor of "Gongfu"
True quality takes time. While many rush spring teas to market, Orient Cha follows the ancient "Full Roast" standard. This batch underwent four separate roastings over five months. This gradual process removes astringency and allows the "fire aroma" to blend perfectly with the tea’s natural honeyed soul.
We wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival to release this tea, ensuring the leaves have "settled" and reached their peak smoothness. This is our commitment to authenticity over speed.
The Tasting Journey
Infusions 1-3 (The Awakening): Rich and viscous with the prized "Honey-Sweet Potato" aroma. A warm, grainy sweetness forms a solid foundation.
Infusions 4-6 (The Bloom): Complexity peaks. Deep rock sugar sweetness unfolds into elegant, long-lasting floral and fruity notes that melt in the mouth.
Infusions 7-10 (The Continuation): The signature orchid fragrance remains strong and deeply integrated into the water, rather than floating on the surface.
Finish (The Echo): A clean, refreshing sweetness that lingers like a soft melody.
