The Assam Wild Stone Oolong comes from an extraordinary project in the mountainous, jungle-like borderland between Assam, Nagaland and Manipur. Wild tea plants grow in this remote region and their leaves are carefully collected by hand by the local population. The subsequent processing takes place directly in the villages - traditionally, carefully and with a great deal of experience.
The tea is loosely rolled open by hand and impresses with a brown-greyish leaf and a degree of fermentation of 60-70%. Its taste profile is surprisingly unique for Assam: sweet, mineral, light - an oolong full of character, but gentle, which is hardly known from this region.
Several infusions are easily possible and reveal new nuances of the wild original plants with each subsequent infusion.
