An oolong is a half fermented tea. This plant has large dark green leaves. After the harvest, the leaves are spread out in the sun to dry, so that they can wither.

As soon as the edges of the leaves turn red, the leaves are cooked for fifteen minutes in a pan on the fire, which stops the fermentation process and creates this beautiful oolong tea.

A vintage tea is a black tea that is fully fermented and has to mature for a long time. The Pu Er 1992 B is a variety with large gray-brown tea leaves that were picked in 1992. After picking the leaves dry in the air to extract the moisture, until they are flexible enough to be processed. They are rolled by hand to start the oxidation process. Then they have to ferment for a few more hours. After this, the leaves must ferment for a few more hours. Then the leaves are baked in hot air ovens and stored for years in barrels of clay to ripen further, just like old wines. The older, the better. This Pu Er tea can continue to mature for at least 30 years.

The He Feng Fu Xi is a green tea from China. It is grown on a plantation in the province of Hubei. Here it is grown according to traditional methods and especially selected by Madame Tseng for De Eenhoorn. The tea looks a bit like a Japanese tea. The colour of the tea is dark green.

A green tea is an unfermented tea. For green tea, only the buds and upper leaves of the plant are used. This can be done several times in the season and is harvested completely manually and very carefully. Every pick is completely different. After picking and fading the leaves, they are steamed or cooked, so the green color will retain and the leaves will not oxidize or ferment. After this process, the leaves go through hot or cold rollers to break them. Finally, the leaves have to dry and get sorted.
