This is a speciality Oolong tea, and famous throughout the world.
It requires a very special method of processing, which was for many years kept secret.
It is allowed very little oxidisation, and has a very flowery, delicate aroma, strongly hinting of Orchid. Its sweet taste and lack of astringency suggests other ingredients, but this is pure tea without additives.
This is among the finest, if not the absolute finest, of our Oolong teas.
A taste never to be missed.
