The Cup of PoetryThis hand-picked tea is prized for its large silver-tipped leaves and pure peachpit flavor. Grown high in the hills near the western shore of Taiwan, it is one of the world's rarest and most prized cups. Only one harvest each year produces a leaf of this exceptional quality. See more Oolong Tea » Additional Details Oolong Tea With origins in Taiwan and southeast China, the best oolong tea is produced when tea leaves are oxidized in direct sunlight until they give off a precise and pleasant fragrance — somewhere between apples, orchids, and peaches.
