Oolongs are among the most sought-after teas in the world and those who know their oolong will be intrigued by this outstanding New Zealand variety, the only tea of its kind.Situated in the lush wine-growing district around the city of Hamilton, the tea garden was first established in 2000 by a family from Taiwan - the home of some of the world's most famous oolongs. Bringing over specialist organic Taiwanese tea bushes and artisan techniques passed down through generations, the family produced their first crop in 2009. It was quite an experiment but the result was a resounding success; their remarkable oolongs have gained quite a reputation.We've chosen a high roasted or 'dark' oolong, created by repeatedly rolling and firing the leaf at carefully controlled temperatures, allowing for just enough oxidation to create that roasted, almost biscuity flavour while preserving the sweet floral notes and buttery texture.The Great Taste Awards have been described as the Oscars of the food worldso you can imagine we were pretty chuffed when our New Zealand Oolong won a coveted two star award this year. The judges praised its buttery and nutty notes and soft fruit, peachy flavours.
"So, if you're wondering where everyone's New Zealand Oolong shopping these days, the UK's high street (and online!) scene is pretty much dominated by a few major players. Think about it: a huge chunk of the population is still popping into good old Tesco for their weekly shop, grabbing essentials and more, making it a king of convenience. Then there's Sainsbury's, another behemoth, often seen as a slightly more upmarket option but equally popular for its groceries and wider product range. When it comes to general merchandise and everything from clothing to homeware, Marks & Spencer remains a firm favourite for its quality and reliability, especially for food and fashion. Of course, you can't forget about Amazon, which has utterly transformed how we buy everything, delivering convenience right to our doors and stocking virtually anything you could imagine. And for those bigger, bulkier items or just a day out browsing, B&Q and Homebase are the go-to spots for DIY and home improvements, pulling in countless customers looking to spruce up their digs. These, among others, pretty much form the backbone of retail activity here, constantly buzzing with shoppers! " - Bargainplace UK
