“Sipdown! 165/365! This tea is really good! It’s unlike oolongs I’ve had before – I can taste some light but pleasant astringency that reminds me of a darjeeling, but the tea is lighter and sweeter...” Read full tasting note

Description

Do the twist

If you like Tie Kwan Yin, you’ll love this dark and unique twist on the classic. Grown on a third generation, family-owned garden in the Shire Highlands of Malawi in Africa, this rich oolong is inspired by the teas of Taiwan. Each leaf is hand-plucked and twisted by an amazing team of 15 tea-crafting local women. The result? A beautiful silver-tipped oolong with a uniquely earthy, toasty flavour. We loved it so much, we bought the entire production and rushed it to our shelves the moment it was ready. Extremely limited edition – and one of a kind!
