The buttery classic!
If you’re curious about which Taiwanese oolong to try first, it’s this one! This is an inexpensive, smooth and buttery classic. It’s a wonderful introduction to Taiwanese tea and a great daily drinker!

Lovely tea
Just received my delivery this morning and tried it out right away. I have always like the subtle fragrance of this tea but this batch has a almost floral like fragrance. simply marvellous.

Tasty, and comforting
This is my daily drinker. It has a silky smooth mouthfeel, and a fresh and clean oolong flavor with milky/creamy notes. I can get a lot of steeps out of each session without it turning bitter, astringent, or overly vegetal. Great value!
