Description

A unique, one of a kind oolong tea from Nantou County, Taiwan. There is no actual honey in this tea, but the taste has a pronounced natural sweetness. The cup is extremely complex, very frruity/raiseny, slightly floral and with more weight than most oolongs. Made in the Oriental Beauty style (including the Green Leaf Hopper) but with the Jin Xuan culitvar, and rolled into the traditional Nantou County semi-ball shape. Great for multiple infusions.
