Description
Blenders Notes BirdSong:
This is an Organic and Exquisite Wu Yi Tea sourced at low elevations of Taiwan. The Taiwanese Wu Yi comes from bushes that are direct descendants of Wuyi trees brought to Taiwan from northern Fujian before the Japanese rule. This is a very rare cultivar in Taiwan today. The Taiwanese plants have evolved very differently from their Chinese ancestors in the last century. Still, one will detect the mineral component as well as the tangy quench of stone fruit in the aroma and taste. The tannic structure is smooth yet brisk with a pleasant attack which is refreshing and dry. In this blend the softness or Rose Petals and Chamomile are added to pair nicely with the tang of the oolong! Plus, the freshness of the Lemon makes this a perfect combination!

When talking about the many types of tea, Oolong is a fun tea falling in between Green and Black Tea depending on how much it is oxidized. The primary countries that export Oolong are China (mainstream) and Taiwan (high end) teas. We carry mostly Green Oolong from China in our blends because it pairs well with the fruits we add to the teas. We also carry some speciality Oolongs from Taiwan.
The original origin of Oolong is from high elevation regions where the mountains are rocky with cooler temperatures. The leaf is left unfermented making it a green Oolong or it may be fully oxidized making it a Black Tea. Either way this tea leaves a fresh golden after taste in the mouth! Wonderful and unique flavor.
