White Buds Chelan Oolong Tea comes from a variety of camellia with medium-sized leaves that is quite common in the Fujian region. By conformation, the White Chelan variety has many characteristics in common with the Tie Guan Yin cultivar even if, from an aromatic point of view, it leans more towards soft and floral tones. When dealing with such delicate products, often, as in this case, there is a tendency to roast the leaves for longer times during processing. In this way you can accentuate the sweet parts and give more body to the drink. In the cup, White Buds Chelan Oolong Tea shows the signs of a longer roasting time with its nut flavor and a creamy, high-intensity body; factors balanced by floral notes that give a sense of freshness and light sweetness, typical expression of this Chinese cultivar. It is a tea that goes perfectly with vanilla sweets, shortbread and butter biscuits.
