Delightful warm beverage
The dried pear note is particularly lovely and refreshing.
This Red Oolong tea is produced just once a year and is inspired by the classic Dong Ding style from the renowned Lugu growing region. This version puts a fresh spin on tradition, grown at a higher elevation and just as delicious. Coffee lovers may appreciate its long, lingering aftertaste and subtle astringency. Expect notes of pecan, dried pear, and burnt sugar.

The dried pear note is particularly lovely and refreshing.
Smooth, aromatic, and a truly calming cup of tea.
My husband, who loves coffee, really appreciates the subtle astringency and the long finish this tea offers. It’s been a great way to introduce him to specialty teas.
The flavor is good, with definite pecan and burnt sugar notes. I just wish the loose leaves were a little more intact; there were a few more broken pieces than I expected for a specialty oolong.
The burnt sugar taste was too strong and artificial for my liking.
