林老師傳統工藝 夏季烏龍茶｜青茶  <蟬鳴 Chan Ming> The Chirping of Cicadas

Based on the way of holistic living in ancient China, summer is considered the season of flourishment and the perfect time to restore the Yang energy for winter to come.

Our Summer Qing Cha was made echoing the quality and characteristics of the Yang: you will experience a lively range of vivid fragrances, aromas and tastes, such as Gardenia, Wild Orchid and Jasmine at night.

The liquid offers a smooth, warming yet refreshing texture, and its energy provides layers of lightness, reviving the mind and the body, like taking a nap in the summer forest and slowly waking up to the colourful songs of the cicadas.

A tea that'll keep you company throughout the long summer days with at least ten re-brews.

Cultural Significance

We prefer to call our "Oolong tea" Qing (/Ching/) Cha. It was categorised as one of the six types of traditional Chinese tea in the 70s. Due to the commercial popularity of Taiwanese-style Oolong from the 90s, the depths and breadths of Qing Cha have yet to be fully discovered by most.

Our Qing Cha comes from wild, ancient, indigenous medium/big-leaf tea trees and is 100% seasonal, local, and small-batched. Following the precious guidance of Master Lin, our intention in offering this tea is to honour and revive the ancient understanding and craftsmanship of traditional Qing Cha that has been unique to the Guizhou southwest region.
