Oolong K104 – semi-fermented tea with an exceptional depth of flavor

Oolong K104 is a semi-fermented tea, occupying a place between green and black teas in terms of both the degree of leaf oxidation and the richness of flavor. It comes from regions renowned for oolong (oolong) production, with a carefully controlled production process in which each step—from harvesting to final roasting—impacts the unique character of the infusion. It is made from mature tea leaves. Camellia sinensis, which are hand-picked to preserve their integrity. The semi-fermentation process gives them an exceptionally complex profile, combining the freshness of green teas with the fullness and velvety depth of black teas. The plantations are located in mountainous areas where the climate is mild, and morning mists and wide temperature ranges enhance the development of the leaves' rich aromas.

K104 refers to rolled oolong tea made from carefully selected spring leaves. First, the leaves are slightly wilted to evaporate excess moisture, then they are gently "knocked" and aerated, initiating controlled oxidation. When the master processor determines the appropriate point has been reached, the oxidation process is stopped by heat treatment. Next comes rolling into compact balls and a gentle roasting stage, which dries the leaves and refines their aroma. This creates a tea with a pure, consistent character, combining light green tones with the depth of roasted notes. Careful selection of the raw material and multi-stage processing ensure this tea is distinguished by its high quality and consistency of flavor from batch to batch.
