A remarkable hand-picked oolong from the mountains of Shizuoka. Made from a very rare cultivar, Koju, this wilted and oxidized tea has strong notes of sweet fruit and citrus with a soft floral finish.Being hand-picked, the annual output is very low and we are honored to share this extremely limited and beautiful example of high mountain Japanese oolong.
