One of our Artisan Reserve organic oolong teas, a line of small batch handmade teas from a craft handed down over generations. Hand selected for having all the hallark qualities of the highest grades with noteable personality accents.

This is a Roasted Fancy Oolong tea from May 09, stored in a vacuum seal.

We grabbed all we could of this tea and it wasn't much, but hey, it's something. Actually, that is an understatement. It is awesome.

Highly fermented and high fired, this tea has an initial roasted acorn/pecan flavor that slowly melds into a really complex floral/fruit body. The finish is long and honeysuckle-like with mist notes at the end. Superb hand picked tea crafted by an expert. Limited.

Basic Steeping Tips
- Use filtered or spring water, whenever possible
- Don’t over-boil water
- Remove leaves after recommended time (adjust to taste)
- If you want stronger tea, use more leaves instead of steeping for a longer time.
Leaves can be re-steeped 2-3 times resulting in various flavor differences. Don’t throw out those leaves until they have given it all up!
