What is Oolong Shalimar Tea?

Oolong Shalimar Tea is a complex tea. It comes from the fertile regions of China — the birthplace of Oolong Tea. The name 'Shalimar' comes from the legendary Shalimar Gardens. They are known for their beauty and grandeur. The name symbolises the opulence and deep, rich aromas that the tea has.

This unique blend has been carefully curated. It combines the traditional methods of Oolong with the exotic flavors of the East. This mix is how it got its illustrious name. The tea pays homage to ancient tea-making traditions. It also invites tea lovers to explore a fusion of flavors that go beyond the ordinary.

This vision led to the careful selection of semi-fermented leaves. They are known for their ability to mix the strength of black tea with the freshness of green tea. To this rich base, an ensemble of exotic fruits and flowers was added. Each was chosen to complement and enhance the aroma of this blend.

How to Make Oolong Shalimar Tea

Brewing Oolong Shalimar Tea is an art. It blends precision with personal preference. It promises a delightful infusion that tantalises the senses. Follow these simple steps for the perfect cup:

  1. Water Temperature: Start with fresh, filtered water, heated to 85-95°C (185-203°F). The right temperature is crucial. It lets us get all the flavors without causing bitterness.
  2. Tea Quantity: Use about 1-2 teaspoons per 200ml (7 ounces) of water. This ratio ensures the perfect balance of strength and aroma.
  3. Steeping Time: Let the tea leaves steep for 3-5 minutes. The time depends on your taste. A shorter steep will reveal light, floral notes. A longer steep will enhance the tea's richness and depth.
  4. Serving: Once the tea has steeped, pour it through a strainer into your cup. The vibrant, amber infusion should be enjoyed without milk. This way, you can appreciate its complex flavors and aromatic details.
  5. Re-Steeping: The leaves are durable. You can re-steep them several times. Each infusion reveals new layers of flavour, making it a tea to savour throughout the day.

Tasting Notes: The first sip has a delicate, but complex flavor. It has hints of passion fruit and rose. As the tea cools, the fruity notes intensify, giving way to a smooth, lingering finish.

Caffeine Content: It has about 30mg of caffeine per cup. This makes it perfect for a mid-day pick-me-up without jitters.
