XXPERIMENTAL NO.7 is an incredibly light roast on our favorite unroasted green using qingxin oolong leaves from our farm on Shanlinxi. During the tea making process, we siphoned off a portion of the finished product and decided to continue the roasting process. In all, we roasted this batch for a total of five hours, 2 hours at 70°C, a quick rest, then 3 hours at 75°C. If you’re doing a double take, you’re right! We experimented a few years back and ran this test in the Winter. This year we’re using leaves from the Spring to see if we can bring out even more of that dry mouthfeel by using baseline leaves that will be a bit more floral from the get-go. Without spoiling the surprise, we think this tea is a little sweeter than it’s unroasted counterpart 😊
