HOT ! High Mountain Monkey\'s Pick Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea #1468

高山極品 马骝搣鐵觀音 烏龍茶#1468

 马骝搣本是茶树的一种，生于岩石之间，采摘时须要人用绳吊往岩石上，情况好像猴子般，故称为马骝槭（“马骝”就是岭南人对猴子的俗称，“搣”就是摘的意思。即所谓的“猴王采茶”）。马骝搣茶茶叶香气芬芳鲜嫩，有非常明显的水蜜桃香，持久不散，性质顺和；茶汤碧绿带黄，香气清幽脱俗，入口温厚醇滑，甘饴润喉，令人心境舒畅。

Folklore tells of a man discovering a tea bush hanging off the side of a cliff. Unable to reach it, he trained a monkey to pick the leaves for him, and thus Monkey\'s Pick Oolong was born. While the usage of monkeys is not a normal harvesting procedure anymore, the name certainly has stuck. Monkey\'s Pick Oolong boasts earthy, unique aromas that are unveiled with each successive steeping as the leaves unfurl.

Monkey Picked uses firing (roasting) techniques reduced from high temperatures to a low-mid temperature setting. This is done to enhance the tea’s floral notes as well as to bring out fruitiness and preserves the tea’s jade green appearance. It enhances and concentrates the depth and richness of flavor, resulting in an extremely silky and thick textured mouth-feel with a surprisingly long finish.
