Oolong Tea

Organic Wuyi Oolong

Cacao, Stone Fruit, Rose From Jiangshi Garden, Nanping, Fujian, China Crafted by Tea Maker Xie Tian (Ms)

A rich and buttery oolong tea, lifted by caramel sweetness and subtle floral notes. This tea is skilfully crafted by masters who roast the leaves to create sumptuous autumnal flavours.

 

"Fabulously fragrant, almost sweetly nutty oolong from one of the “‘grand crus’” of the Chinese tea world. Knockout."

As featured in The Guardian by Fiona Beckett.

武夷乌龙茶

The Wuyi Mountains of Fujian province are at the heart of China's oolong tea production. Grown in mineral-rich soils, the teas produced here are abundant in flavour and complexity. There are numerous cultivars of the tea plant used to create this style of oolong, with each one offering a unique nuance of flavour, expertly teased out by the masters who produce them. This season’s Wuyi Oolong is Water Sprite (Shui Xian), which is rich and autumnal with fragrant notes of rose and peach, and a sublime texture.
