TECHNIQUE

Wine Barrel Aging Tea

The barrel used to produce the 2010 Rudd Oakville Estate Red offers complex mineral, fruit, wood and vanilla notes, which plays in perfect harmony with the imperial scented jasmine white tea. The tea was aged 200+ days in the French oak barrel at TEALEAVES’ Vancouver Blending Center.

TEALEAVES Master Blenders conducted weekly tastings, modifying the absorption through ambient temperature and relative humidity – to blend this tea with optimal balance and nuance.
