*CREATE YOUR OWN* Custom Bespoke Hand-roasted Oolong Tea - Design your own roasted tea for every occasion

• If you love toasty tasting tea, and don't have a tea roaster, Marulin's hand-roasting service is for you.
• Pick from 1 of 3 different handpicked single-origin rolled pearl oolong teas: Four Seasons, Chin Shin or High Mountain Jin Xuan (Milk Oolong).
• Select your toasting options and let us artisanally roast the tea for you.

ORIGIN

Each of the three oolong tea options - Four Seasons, Chin Shin, Jin Xuan (Milk Oolong) are famous tea cultivars developed in Taiwan by the Tea Research and Extension Station. This research organisation is a world leader in developing new types of tea and processing methods. Each of single-origin have been grown and handpicked by Taiwanese tea cooperatives.

CULTIVATION AND PROCESSING

The teas have been been handpicked and been processed using traditional Taiwanese methods for rolled pearls oolong tea. Using a Marulin tea roasting oven in London, we will roast this tea to your specifications. The tea will be gently stirred in a bamboo basket during the roasting process to preserve the shape of the handpicked rolled pearl dry leaf. You have the choice of:

• Number of roasting coils: single or double. A double coil provides more roasting
• Pick your roasting temperature: Low (100°C), Medium (150°C), Hot (200°C)
• Pick your roasting length: Light (3 hours), Medium (5 hours), Long (7 hours), Extra Long (9 hours)
• Split Pack option: Select this option if you would like approximately a third of the tea removed at 1/3 and 2/3rds of the way through the full roast. This will allow you to taste how the tea flavour matures at three different points in the roasting process. Note that as tea is removed, the roasting of the remaining tea accelerates.

TEA BREWING GUIDE

90-95°C, 3g per 200ml cup, 3-6 min. We recommend when you first try your tea, taste it with a spoon every minute so you can determine the optimal brewing time. We note that darker roasted tea normally takes longer to brew as the tea leaves take more time to open up.

These teas may be infused several times - you may use shorter brew times after the first brew.
