The return of a sold out hit. From the Guangdong province of China, our Parasol Dancong oolong tea is made from niangzaisan varietal. The name Niangzaisan roughly translates as "young girl with an umbrella". It's a varietal named for the parasol shape of the trees. Rarely sold in the west, this is a varietal that is not very well-known or widely produced. It's an elegant tea, bursting with flavors of overripe fruit. If you've made the rounds with all of the usual Dancong suspects, you can't skip this. Each purchase is for 25 grams of tea.
