Tasting passport

What does Himalayan Orange Hill taste like?

The sweet hazelnut and lightly roasted notes form the heart of its profile. A subtle floral nuance completes the cup, without dominating the whole. The liquor remains light and harmonious: an Oolong to choose for its finesse and sweetness.

Start by tasting it alone, without milk or sugar. Then let the cup cool slightly to take the time to distinguish the nutty, floral and roasted nuances.

How to prepare this Nepalese Oolong?

Use about 13 g of tea per liter of water, or 3.25 g for a 250 ml cup. Steep for 2 to 4 minutes in water at around 80 °C, then remove the leaves.

For a first tasting, start with 2 minutes. During subsequent preparations, adjust the duration within the recommended range according to the desired intensity. Avoid prolonging the infusion without removing the leaves once the cup is to your liking.

When to taste it and what to pair it with?

Its finesse lends itself to an attentive tasting, in the morning or afternoon. Enjoy it plain or pair it with a low-sugar pastry, a few almonds or hazelnuts, or dried fruit.
