Overview
Best pick • solid oolong choice from Taiwan
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.

A very well roasted tea with a smooth and sweet lingering taste of dried fruit coupled with a gentle nuttiness in the finish. The tea undergoes multiple medium roasts to produce a gentle roasted effect which accentuates the native characteristics of the tea. The tea is a good candidate for ageing as it should change over time as it rests from the roast.
