Overview
Best pick • solid oolong choice from Unknown origin
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
This Puer-grown oolong-hong falls into a unique category. Neither a typical black tea, nor oolong, it straddles both categories, with the warm, roasted quality of a black tea, along with the layered flavour and fragrance of an oolong. Made from Taiwanese small leaf, soft stem varietal (台湾小叶种乌龙软枝) material grown here in Yunnan, this tea offers a dynamic experiencing, with both fruity and floral qualities, as well a hint of cinnamon. Compared to our similarly processed and equally unique Flowerbomb, this tea covers a bit more range, leaning towards notes of spice and some fruitiness. $0.21-0.28/gram Region: Simao, Yunnan Picking Period: Spring 2025
