Grown in the hilltops of Nantou, Taiwan, Orchid Oolong tea brews a lilac flavor that is buttery and smooth with a fresh orchid finish. Oolong tea leaves are hand-picked and basket tossed in a process known as oxidization. The oolong tea leaves are then rolled into kernels that wait to unfold with flavor in your teapot.
The basket-tossing process must be doing something right—each steeping releases that buttery, fresh orchid aroma without a hint of bitterness. I’ve already brewed three pots this week and the flavor stays smooth to the last cup.
The lilac note is exactly as described—buttery on the first sip, then that fresh orchid finish lingers just long enough. Hand-picked leaves brew a smooth cup that’s become my afternoon ritual.
The basket-tossing process must be doing something right—the leaves brew up incredibly smooth with a buttery mouthfeel that lingers into that fresh orchid finish. I've already gone through half the bag in a week, it's that easy to keep reaching for.
