This semi-oxidised tea is a hand-rolled Chinese Oolong. It is also known as Ti Guan Yin and is probably the most well-known of Chinese balled Oolongs, from the Fujin Province. Lightly oxidised, it is a smooth almost creamy textured tea and when brewed the balled, twisted leaves unfurl to show laced edges that have fragrant, floral notes with a gentle sweetness. Aromas of orchid and honeysuckle linger on the nose while the liquor is a light honey-coloured cup. Though oolongs are often described as sitting somewhere between green and black teas they have their own special characteristics that distinguish them from both. We are partial to Oolong teas and often have our "Oolong moments" mid-afternoon when we take a work break to relax and revive.
