Taiwanese Oolong Assortment
Six teas to represent the nuanced spectrum of oolong from the small island, one whose tea history is as interesting as the history of Taiwan itself. The spine of tall mountains running the island's length provides an excellent environment for the cultivation of aromatic oolongs: sweet, floral, spicy, oily, and creamy. The connoisseur of Taiwanese teas has here everything they could wish for, from the mild and green Jin Xuan to the full-bodied, roasted Dong Ding, and the curious can deepen their knowledge of these renowned varieties.
