Savis Organic Halimun Oolong Tea is a type of oolong tea produced from the Camellia sinensis plant, with a unique flavor profile and aroma distinct to the region of Mount Halimun in western Java, Indonesia. The tea is named after Mount Halimun, a mountain known for its rich biodiversity and ideal climate for cultivating tea.
Halimun Oolong Tea is crafted through a meticulous process that involves withering, oxidation, rolling, and drying of the tea leaves. The oxidation level of oolong tea falls somewhere between green tea (which is minimally oxidized) and black tea (which is fully oxidized), resulting in a tea with a diverse range of flavors and aromas.
The flavor profile of Halimun Oolong Tea can vary depending on factors such as the specific cultivar used, the altitude at which the tea is grown, and the processing techniques employed. However, it often exhibits floral, fruity, and slightly toasty notes, with a smooth and creamy texture. The aroma is often described as floral, with hints of honey and orchid.
Halimun Oolong Tea is known for its versatility and can be enjoyed hot or cold. It is typically brewed using water that is around 185°F to 205°F (85°C to 96°C) and steeped for 2 to 4 minutes, although brewing times and temperatures may vary depending on personal preference.
This tea pairs well with a wide range of foods and is often enjoyed on its own or with light snacks such as fresh fruit, nuts, or pastries. Some people also enjoy pairing it with savory dishes or desserts to complement its nuanced flavors.
Overall, Halimun Oolong Tea offers a delightful sensory experience with its complex flavors, inviting aroma, and smooth texture, making it a popular choice among tea connoisseurs both locally in Indonesia and internationally.
