Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Grown high at the edge of Western China using the famous Green Heart cultivar from Taiwan, this masterfully oxidized oolong brings notes of honey, malt and gardenia that make it a dark and rare delight to drink from first cup to last.
