Ancient Trees Wild Oolong

A very original tea — semi-oxidized oolong made from wild Camellia Assamica leaves. Dara, a 5th-generation tea artisan, and her family venture into the forest behind their home to pick leaves from old trees estimated at 200 years old — wild native plants, hand-processed in the small family factory.

Unique and full of character. Sweet and fruity to the nose, reminiscent of dried strawberries. The liquor is thick, with notes of stables and hay, and an almost-sour honey finish. Wild and unconventional, with a bitter potential like a young sheng puerh — do not over steep.
