Among the exceptional teas in our collection, Halimun Jade holds a place of its own. Harvested on the slopes of Mount Halimun in western Java, this organic Oolong carries the cool breath of the mountains and the precision of a craft tradition rarely found in Indonesia.

Its name evokes jade stone, both in the tender green of its rolled leaves and in the clarity of its liquor. A delicate, luminous cup that reveals the richness of a terroir still largely undiscovered.

The aromatic profile of Halimun Jade

This jade Oolong unfolds an aromatic bouquet of rare elegance. Within the first seconds of steeping, the fragrance rises, blending the freshness of a mountain garden with the softness of a white flower just beginning to bloom.

On the top notes, you'll notice a tender, almost herbaceous vegetal quality, reminiscent of dew-dampened grass at dawn and the cool shade of an Indonesian forest floor.

In the heart, floral aromas take over: orchid, lilac, a hint of gardenia. This floral dimension, the signature of lightly oxidized Oolongs, is what gives this tea its particular finesse.

On the finish, the cup rounds out with very subtle milky and buttery notes, a lingering freshness and a returning vegetal quality that beckons a second sip. No added flavoring: the profile expresses nothing but the leaf and its high-altitude terroir.

This aromatic purity, through its rolling technique and carefully controlled oxidation, places it among the great Asian Oolongs. If you enjoy this style, explore our blue Oolong to go deeper into this fascinating family of teas.

How to brew Oolong Halimun Jade

A fine tea deserves a gentle, attentive hand. A few simple steps are all it takes to reveal everything this cup has to offer.

Water: use a low-mineral spring water, heated to between 70 and 80°C. Water that is too hot will scorch the delicate leaves and mask their floral subtlety.

Dosage: use 12 g of leaves per litre, roughly a heaped tablespoon for a 50 cl teapot. The rolled leaves will slowly unfurl as they steep — take a moment to watch them open.

Steeping time: brew for 2 to 3 minutes for the first cup. This tea can be re-steeped two to three times, extending the time slightly with each infusion. Each cup reveals a new facet, from floral to mineral.

Accessories: a porcelain or glass teapot, or a gaiwan, are ideal choices. Avoid cast iron, which can weigh down such a delicate infusion. Browse our Lung Ching Superior selection to continue exploring fine teas.

Storage

To preserve the floral freshness of this tea, store the leaves in an airtight container, away from light, moisture and strong odors. An opaque metal caddy kept in a cool cupboard is ideal. Best enjoyed within twelve months of opening.
