One of the best rock grown oolongs from the Wu Yi mountains. The unique climate, rocky soil and processing of the leaves give this tea a distinctive taste. The large, dark, twisted leaves produce an amber infusion with a deeply roasted flavour reminiscent of bitter chocolate and minerals with floral notes.
