Rose Kukicha - Fall 2024
A Harmonious Blend of Tradition and Innovation
Our Rose Kukicha Oolong is a captivating fusion of ancient tea-making techniques and modern innovation. Sourced from a select mid-summer harvest, this tea features a unique blend of tender leaves and robust stems. During this particular season, extended heatwaves led to the tea plants producing smaller-than-usual leaves and thick, juicy stems. These stems, rich in antioxidants and lower in caffeine, contribute to the tea's smooth, gentle energy and earthy, mineral notes.
To elevate this naturally robust tea, we've added delicate rosebuds and subjected the leaves to a gentle overnight oxidation process in a mound known as a “sweat baby”. This maximizes GABA concentrations and enhances the tea's complexity, imparting rich, chocolatey, and cranberry notes that complement the floral sweetness of the rose.
A Sensory Delight
Each cup of this exquisite tea is a sensory journey. As the warm amber liquor unfurls, you'll be greeted by a delicate floral aroma, intertwined with subtle hints of dark chocolate and ripe berries. The taste is equally captivating, with a harmonious balance of vegetal sweetness, toasty warmth, and a lingering floral finish. The smooth, velvety texture and gentle caffeine content make it the perfect companion for any time of day.
A Labor of Love
Our commitment to quality is evident in every step of the process. Hand-picked at the peak of ripeness, the tea undergoes a meticulous withering and oxidation process to develop its unique flavor profile. The addition of rosebuds adds a delicate floral note, elevating the tea to new heights.
A Tea for the Discerning Palate
Indulge in the beauty and complexity of our Rose Kukicha Oolong. Each cup is a testament to the artistry of tea-making and a celebration of nature's bounty.
