Green Jade Oolong | ABoxTik of Classic Tea Series (Tea Bag)

Green Jade Oolong Tea is rare among winter teas, and the Green Jade tea tree is not as robust and easy to grow as the four-season spring variety. Its ability to grow in harsh environments is truly remarkable. During the growth period of winter tea, there is a large temperature difference between day and night, and the relative humidity is low. As a result, the tea buds grow slowly.

During the production process, the fermentation degree is intentionally slightly increased to make the aroma of the tea more rich and layered, which is different from other seasons’ Green Jade teas.

The tea soup has a high-flowering aroma and a sweet aftertaste, making it a rare tea that possesses both aroma and flavor.

Green Jade Oolong Introduction

Green Jade Oolong: Exploring the Delights of Taiwanese Tea No. 13

Origins of Green Jade Oolong

Green Jade Oolong, or Taiwanese Tea No. 13, is an improved tea variety officially recognized by the Taiwan Council of Agriculture. Derived from the Jade tea tree, it’s ideal for crafting Baozhong tea and lightly fermented oolong. What sets this oolong apart is its captivating aroma, characterized by the infusion of wild ginger and sweet-scented osmanthus. This unique fragrance makes it a favorite among those who enjoy the nuances of green tea. Green Jade Oolong is especially recommended for beginners due to its delicate and elegant flavor profile that suits a wide range of tastes.

A Journey through Jade

Understanding Green Jade Oolong

During the Japanese rule in 1945, over 500 tea saplings were left behind. After over three decades of research, breeding, and innovation, a new tea variety emerged. The decision to name it was made by the Agriculture Committee. Mr. Wu Zhenduo, a key figure in tea research, suggested using his mother’s name, “Jade,” for Taiwanese Tea No. 13. This thoughtful naming approach quickly gained popularity. The official code for this variety is 2029, hence its nickname “Erjiuzai (29zai).”

Unveiling the Green Jade Oolong’s Secrets

Jade’s Birthplace

Green Jade Oolong is produced in limited quantities due to its higher planting density and manual harvesting process. Nantou, Taiwan, particularly areas like Lugu, Zhushan, Mingjian, Chiayi Meishan, and Alishan, serves as the main cultivation region.

Parent Tea Source

The parent tea sources for Jade Oolong are the Firm Stem Red Tip variety and Tainung No. 80. These Taiwanese tea trees are cultivated primarily through asexual reproduction, ensuring consistent quality. Propagation is achieved using branches from the parent trees.

Siblings of the Jade Series

Jade refers to the tea tree species itself, with most Jade tea trees being lightly fermented and roasted to create oolong tea. The long, narrow leaves are aromatic and flavorful when brewed.

Savoring Green Jade Oolong

Distinctive Characteristics

Green Jade Oolong comes from the Jade tea tree variety, producing oval leaves with jagged edges that curl upwards. The buds are purple, and the leaves are vibrant green. It’s a middle-to-early-growing tea type, beginning to germinate within 7 to 10 days. The resulting oolong boasts a unique ginger aroma and floral taste.

Tea Brewing Experience

The dried tea leaves are tightly rolled into hemispheres, producing a sandy green tea broth. The flavor is initially sweet, followed by a ginger aftertaste and floral aroma. The tea brew’s color is a bright orange-yellow.
