With steep slopes, high mountains, dangerous peaks as well as ancient trees towering to the skies, legend has it only cranes could fly out. Besides, Crane in traditional culture represents auspiciousness, longevity and nobility. Magnificent and fascinating, the image of a crane carrying a string of citruses conveys the deep connotation of Oriental Leaf as a Oriental tea, and the brown rice tea flavor chooses "carp streamer", a symbol of spring, as its key visual feature.


In terms of flavor profile, Oriental Leaf citrus reticulata Pu'er tea flavor is made with high-quality Pu'er tea fermented from the sun-dried green tea of Yunnan big leaf species, combined with Xinhui Citrus Peel from Guangdong province of China. The original tea is extracted with Nongfu Spring natural water, which restores the freshly brewed flavor to the greatest extent and delivers a mellow taste with a sweet and fresh aftertaste lasting long. The brown rice tea flavor takes Nongfu Spring northeast fragrant rice as raw material and is matched with Japanese steamed green tea. Aromas of fried rice and steamed sea sedge form a blend to reduce the bitter and astringent taste of tea, thus making the tea soup fresh and thick, a sweet sensation long after and no harm to the stomach. So this flavor is more suitable for catering scenario. Thanks to the cold-aseptic filling technology and cutting-edge process with patent, Oriental Leaf is capable of retaining tea aromas and delivering a natural tea flavor with no extra additives. After years of hard work and thousands of experiments, scientific researchers and frontline stuff have worked out a set of Tea Processing models, which is able to minimize the high-temperature heating time in the manufacturing process of tea beverage, reduce the chemical changes of chromogenic, aroma and taste substances in tea, and offer double security to retain the original tea color, aroma and flavor.


With ten years of deep expertise, Oriental Leaf has greatly enhanced its product strength and brand influence. Looking ahead, Oriental Leaf standing the test of the market will develop more rapidly. With Nongfu Spring’s aura as a pacesetter and the strong help of multi-core innovation in technology, product and brand, Oriental Leaf is expected to open a new world and bring new development opportunities to the great potential tea market.
