Oolong Tea by Stone Leaf Teahouse

A famous high mountain region noted for its full flavored oolongs, this Ali Shan is lightly roasted to produce a vanilla and coconut aroma and full body that is deep and long lasting.

A light, buttery infusion. This is a spring harvest and even in this late month I can taste the new growth, still fresh in this rolled oolong. More energizing than grounding. Golden yellow in the cup. Big leaves (for a spring Ali Shan) in mostly full leaf sets with sawtoothed, red edges. Lots of infusions for this one.

This highly floral but creamy and a lingering sweet oolong is an emerald cup of fresh gold to be sipping on in this part of the world.

All the sweet milky notes of this tea have bloomed while its bright, Sharp initial flavor has mellowed. This remarkable tea is one to cherish and savor for repeated enjoyment.
