Possibly the most famous and prized oolong tea in history, Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) is quite literally the stuff of legend.  Grown in the protected Wuyi Shan area of Fujian in south east China, the genetics for this strip style oolong variety can reportedly be traced back to the original six bushes still on display growing on the steep slopes of the Wuyi Shan tourist park.  Our classic Da Hong Pao is rich and smooth with subtle, ripe stone fruit flavors and robust yet balanced roastiness.  Subtle hints of apricot, rose, and roasted peach dance around a solid, earthy backbone and characteristicly mineral aftertaste.  A great tea for sipping while reimagining your favorite fairy tale.

This is a wonderfully light, fresh, and refreshing oolong tea from Northern Taiwan.  This harvest is especially delicious.  Grown on a family farm in Pinglin, this lightly twisted oolong tea brews up a crystal pale green color liquor with an amazingly captivating aroma.  The smell of fresh flowers, damp soil, and fresh rain dominate the cup.  The flavor is buttery smooth and mellow, but still full and powerful.  A perfect tea to sip while dreaming of a tropical garden.

This Dan Cong oolong tea, from Guangdong Province, is made completely with the Mi Lan Xiang (Honey Orchid Fragrance) varietal.  This large leaf oolong tea has long, twisted deep green and brown leaves with an enchanting fruit and floral aroma.  The brewed tea is rich golden orange with a medium body and surprisingly bold flavor.  Not so subtle notes of peach, apricot, and honey dominate the flavor along with more delicate hints of sandalwood, cinnamon, and spice.

Jin Xuan is a famous oolong varietal developed in 1980 in Taiwan for its large yeild and captivating aroma.  Often called ‘Milk Oolong’, this tea gives a unique aroma that, although subtle, has an unmistakable similarity to the aroma of fresh milk or cream.  This tightly rolled, green oolong was grown in Songbolin (Cedar Ridge) in Central Taiwan’s Nantuo County.  This tea brews a bright golden/green and gives off subtle floral and fresh milk aromas with a clean vegetal flavor and smooth, easy finish.
