【三寶堂 限量版 古法梨山工夫炭焙茶說帖】 每包淨重四兩 150g
梨山高海拔的茶農在春茶採收後，為了確保冬茶的產量和品質及調整其採收時間， 都須放棄秋茶採製，並加以修剪茶樹的高度和茶梗的數， 因如果採製秋茶勢必會導致冬茶嚴重的失收，而且茶商深知秋茶在市場上也無法賣出好價錢。
可是高冷茶區的秋茶，有獨特的濃郁水路和香氣， 如用龍眼木炭遵古法焙製成熟茶，必然色呈琥珀、喉韻甘爽、高冷茶氣轉為沉香四溢， 整個焙茶過程也須由經驗老道的專業焙茶師， 嚴格控管火候，耗時費工專注精焙，是謂梨山工夫炭焙。
然由於熟茶的陳放不能密封不透氣， 必須讓熟茶經歲月時間繼續的自然緩慢發酵， 方能達到越陳越香越是順喉， 是故本堂堅持古法手工復古紙包裝， 每包淨重四兩，每包均落有年代紀念編碼，限量上市！
Li Shan HEAVILY CHARCOAL ROASTED Alpine Oolong Tea
Flavor: Cherrywood smoke, fire-roasted yams aroma. Thick, oily mouthfeel. Dried apricots, roasted pecans, and molasses flavor profile. Sweet/tangy, dry smoky, peaty finish.
Harvest: Hand-picked, medium batch. Fall 2021. Li Shan, Taiwan.
Elevation: 2600m
These tea leaves are from a Li Shan Alpine tea farm, fall 2021 harvest. They were they were sufficiently oxidized to be suitable for extensive roasting.
This batch of tea was oven roasted 3 times over 3 months time, letting it rest between roastings. When it was about 80% of the desired roasting level, it was brought it to the local charcoal roasting master in Li Shan, who completed the task, using Longanwood charcoal.
The aroma that exudes from these leaves during their initial steeping is a rich caramelized, nutty character with a hint of smoke. The tea is complex, hearty, and smooth, with a pleasant balance of bitter and sweet notes in the finish. It's similar to a traditionally made Dong Ding Oolong, but the leaves grown at higher elevation have an even more substantial composition.
These tea leaves were allowed to oxidiize significantly more than a standard High Mountain Oolong, as this autumn batch was processed in preparation for competition. The skillful art of roasting tea is in the ability to comprehend the composition of the leaves before the roasting begins, and to perceive the transformation they go through in the long, slow roasting process. This perceptual ability becomes more essential as the leaves reach their optimal composition.
Mug: 6g tea in 300ml 100°C water. Steep for 3 minutes. Re-steep. Adjust to taste.
Cold Brew: Use 5g of tea per liter of water. Brew tea at room temperature for 2-3 hours, and enjoy. Or you can put your cold brew bottle in the fridge to brew overnight and be ready to drink the next day.
Gong Fu: 9g for a 150 ml pot. Use boiling temperature water and brew for about 50 seconds. Increase brewing time with each successive brew. The leaves can be brewed 6-8 times.
