红乌龙
Harvest
April 2019
Origin
Anxi, Fujian
An experimental oolong from Mr. Lin Zhenwen from Luoyan, Anxi region of Fujian. Mr. Lin uses handpicked leaves of the Huangjingui or Golden Cassia varietal for this tea.

This tea has the sweetness and floral notes of a black tea, and the richness and nuttiness of a good oolong – the best of both worlds.
