This tea is another jewel from the immense treasure vault of Chinese specialties. For more than 100 years, it has been produced in the southeast of the Chinese high mountains. After traditional hand plucking, the tea is only fermented for a very short time, in order to save the tea's "green soul". The thorough "two leaves and a bud" plucking is clearly visible. The cup shimmers in light green with a slight shade of champagne color. The tasteis spicy with a mild, slightly fruity note. A special treat. 50gm
Yellow tea is traditionally only half or partially fermented, comparable to Oolong. During the production, the tea master must apply some instinctive feel in order to stop the oxidation process exactly at the right moment. Due to its stimulating effect and its many pleasant qualities, consumption of this tea remained a privilege of Buddhist monks for a long time. Our quality has an open, multicoloured leaf with bronze, golden-brown and green shades, similar to Pai Mu Tan. The cup offers a unique kaleidoscope of apricot shades. The taste is mild with a hint of Papaya and an underlying spiciness. 50gm

Crisp, garden-fresh tea shrubs are carefully watched at the dawn of each season. At Elysian, the whole leaf green tea is non-fermented and harvested at an elevation above sea level, and is skillfully handpicked by select locals during the early harvest of Spring until November, while the leaves still carry high amounts of catechins and L-theanine stimulant for soothing effect.

This select speciality is only produced in the mountainous region Nantou in Taiwan and is valued highly by tea connoisseurs around the world. It is only briefly pre-fermented and firmly rolled by hand as opposed to other Oolongs. The relatively short fermentation time ensures the rather light and fresh character, in contrast to the rather heavy, green Oolongs which have a tangier depth and spicy body. The leaf structure shines in olive and jade shades. The cup is a light amber colour. The first infusion is very vivid and reminds of the scent of peach blossoms.
