Magnolia Blossom Fragrance (Yu Lan Xiang)

|
Perhaps our sweetest tasting oolong! This lot was grown at the highest elevations of the Phoenix Mountains in the Feng Huang area of Guangdong Province. Once harvested, the leaves are withered then artistically shaped by a tea master we know well. The leaves are wood charcoal fired in wicker baskets to create a distinctive, red-green leaf with a fruity and roasted aroma. This small, terraced tea farm harvests from oolong trees that are, in cases, hundreds of years old. Its sweetness is enhanced by a light scent of Yu Lan flower; cup taste is nuanced with a long and pleasant aftertaste.
