DONGFANG MEIREN - ORIENTAL BEAUTY
"A beautiful Chinese Dongfang Meiren with excellent value for money"
Oriental Beauty (Dongfang Meiren) produced in Fujian Province. Harvested and produced in summer 2024 from leaves "bitten" by insects, the leaves have started a natural oxidation on the tea plant, still during their growth, which gives them their completely unique and incomparable honeyed sweet taste.
Flavors: mainly honeyed but with a lot of complexity, sweet but also elegant and non-exuberant woody.
Place of production: Hunan Province
Production date: July 2024
Brewing tips: This is a high-end tea and we strongly recommend that you respect the basic dosages and use quality water to brew this tea.
Quality water will be water with very little mineralization. Check the dry residue on the label of the water you want to use, a value between 20 and 100mg/L will be suitable. That said, this is not an infallible rule, some waters at 130mg/L work well (Volvic) while others below 100mg/L have less good results. A fairly famous and cheap water is the Grand Barbier source that you will find at Carrefour.
For a tea of such quality, we recommend not brewing it in a teapot larger than 30cl, to concentrate the infusion well, and enjoy several passes. You can use about 2g of leaves per 10cl, and the water temperature should be between 85 and 95 degrees. With such parameters, 1 minute 30s of infusion will be perfect, the following infusions will be a little faster.
