Traditional Mu Zha Tie Guan Yin 2015
$55.00
100g
This is an impressive traditional Tie Guan Yin made in MuZha, Taiwan. A darker roast than newer, greener styles, the first infusion gives rise to an amazing aroma of sticky raisins & moist Christmas fruitcake. The tea liquor is a coppery orange whisky color, the mouthfeel is medium thick & slips across your palate in a lively dance of mild spices, the dry sweetness of preserved plum, underscored by a light charcoal note. A lingering aftertaste of sweet aged wood, turns to a slightly cooling sensation. High quality stuff at a reasonable price, sure to please discerning oolong lovers.

Dong Ding Oolong tasting Set 2018
$42.00
100g
This Dong Ding Oolong Set allows you to compare Heavy Roasted (50g) versus Light Roasted (50g) styles. The heavy roasted Dongding oolong gives an aroma of dried prunes, old orange peel, roasted sweet potato skin, with a very sweet high note. The flavor is of charcoal, roasted pine, baked nuts. The mouthfeel is dry and thick, not oily like yancha. In comparison, the roasted Dongding is very different, much more grassy & vegetal, but still thick & creamy, with a sweet strawberry milk-like fragrance.
