Description

An unusual looking tea with a wonderful taste. An oxidized Oolong from An Xi Region, the leaves are hand-rolled into small brown-color balls. As the long leaves unfurl, a rich earthy taste is released, pungent yet very pleasant. This tea gives a nuanced and strong taste and leaves a nice aftertaste. Multiple steeps are assured. Steep in water about 195-200 degrees for 2-3 minutes.
