This tea plant has been cultivated to grow into a tall tree shape. The best leaves must be harvested from the top of the plant to yield layers of complex flavors. There are many steps required by an experienced tea maker to produce such an exceptional tea. One example is the careful charcoal roasting step.
Insider Tip: This is best enjoyed Gong Fu style, or in a Gaiwan. Note the changes in flavor and aroma in each infusion.
Ingredients: Oolong tea from Chazhou, Guangdong China.
Time/Temp:
Wow! I'm no supertaster but one sip and you can tell it is complex. I got this through the Tea Passport and I'm glad I did. Also glad I got the 2 oz. It is probably the most expensive tea I've gotten from the Smith, but boy is it worth it! Will keep for special days when I have the time to take with it and enjoy the special flavors.
