https://www.lohaspottery.com/7/Halfday01.jpg 【**Halfday Tea Institute**】 Through a slow brewing process and precise control of heat, we convey the brand's philosophy of " **A Slow Halfday **." The name "Halfday" is inspired by the Tang dynasty poet Li She's poem *Climbing the Mountain*, reflecting an epiphany on finding a moment of leisure amidst the transient world. "Baking tea" refers to the process of firing tea leaves, which suppresses bitterness and astringency, enhances the tea's aroma, and deepens its lingering sweetness. https://www.lohaspottery.com/7/Halfday02.jpg Nestled at an altitude of 1100 meters on Jiufen'er Mountain in Guoxing Township, Nantou, our tea trees are cultivated using **natural farming methods**, ensuring a pure and unpolluted environment. During processing, tea artisans infuse the Qingxin Oolong tea leaves into a cloth bag for rolling. This meticulous step, known as "cloth rolling," imbues the tea leaves with the spirit of craftsmanship. Repeated multiple times, the leaves form firm, uniform semi-spherical shapes with characteristic red edges when unfurled – the hallmark of Dong Ding Oolong. When steeped in hot water, the tea presents a bright, golden amber hue with a simple yet elegant aroma. The initial taste is sweet and smooth, with a lingering depth in the throat. This is **Taiwan's most iconic tea**. Unlike the commonly used Oolong tea varietals for Dong Ding Oolong, "Halfday Tea Institute" selects the Wuyi varietal, which is gradually disappearing in Taiwan. This old tea varietal, once widely cultivated in Taiwan, is well-suited for higher fermentation and roasting. The Dong Ding Oolong from "Halfday Tea Institute" embodies the inheritance of new and old cultures, offering a taste of mid-fermentation and medium roasting. It's refreshing and smooth on the palate, with a profound aftertaste and a unique floral aroma characteristic of the Wuyi varietal, reminiscent of osmanthus – sweet yet aloof. This rich yet balanced flavor profile preserves tradition while incorporating modern craftsmanship. If you're tired of light, fragrant teas, you must try this. **Tea Bag Series** **Enjoy a cup anytime, anywhere. Simple to brew, perfect for busy lives.** 🔹 Hot Brew Method: 1.
