An incredibly rare and unusual oolong with an unbelievably great taste. Incredibly smooth, absolutely no detectable bitterness or astringency with a divine taste of apricots and nectarine. Simply not to be missed.
Only 6kgs were produced this year and we are delighted to have been able to secure 2kgs for our customers. Supplies are extremely limited due to it being completely made by hand!
