Oolong Java Halimun Jade: a rare Indonesian grand cru

Our Organic Oolong Java Halimun Jade ranks among the most elusive oolongs in the world. Grown within the protected natural park of Gunung Halimun in western Java, this exceptional tea draws on a truly singular terroir: rich volcanic soils, elevations above 1,200 metres, near-constant equatorial mist, and mountain spring water for irrigation. The estate follows a strict organic charter, with no pesticides or chemical fertilisers of any kind.

The leaves are hand-picked and rolled into small jade-green pearls, a hallmark of Taiwanese-style oolongs. Semi-oxidation is carefully controlled to preserve the tea's vegetal character while developing the silky roundness this family is known for. The result is a clear, luminous liquor of remarkable delicacy, reminiscent of a fine Taiwanese grand cru grown beneath tropical skies. To explore the Asian roots of this tea style, visit our page on the origins of Oolong tea.

Aromatic profile

In the cup, the Java Halimun releases a fresh, refined fragrance where floral notes, a gentle sweetness and a vegetal hint of young shoots all intertwine. On the palate, its velvety texture wraps the mouth and leads to a finish of great purity. This tea is a fine expression of the new generation of equatorial oolongs, now holding their own alongside the finest Taiwanese crus through carefully preserved terroirs and expertise passed down by Asian tea masters.

Brewing

To honour the finesse of this tea, brew 3 to 4 g of leaves in 200 ml of filtered water heated to 85 °C for 3 to 4 minutes. The rolled pearls are particularly well suited to the gong fu cha method (repeated short infusions), which gradually reveals each aromatic layer over 5 to 7 steeps. For step-by-step guidance, see our guide on how to brew Oolong tea.

Storage

Keep your leaves in an airtight tin, away from light, moisture and strong odours. This grand cru is best enjoyed within a year of purchase, to make the most of its fresh, vegetal character. Browse our full selection on the organic Oolong teas page.
