Oxidation: ⦿⦿○○○
A brisk, fresh-tasting oolong with vegetal flavour notes of winter melon and melon seed, and a floral aroma. An exceptional tea for those who prize freshness and natural floral fragrances.
Why we love it:
- It was made by a small family farm situated in Anxi, the birthplace of Tieguanyin or "Iron Buddha"/"Iron Goddess of Mercy" tea.
- It is lightly oxidised, giving it a green colour and a savoury vegetal flavour, with a naturally floral aroma.
- It is harvested in spring and undergoes a highly complex processing method where the leaves are rolled into a semi-ball shape, for quicker unfurling.
- With a strong flavour and long lasting aftertaste, this tea is great as a palate-cleanser after meals.
