Our highest grade Water Sprite oolong for this year. Graceful, rich and perfectly proportioned, with intricate notes of fragrant wood, gentle mineral oil, rose petal and peach leaf.

 

2009 was a great year for Water Sprite. This is without a doubt, the finest Water Sprite we have selected for a number of years. It is a tremendous example of Wuyi oolong tea with a perfect balance of flavours.

Hazel-cream opening textures give way to a brisk, lively finish with some liquorice-root spice.
