Description

Qi Lan (奇兰) Oolong is originally a varietal of oolong grown in Anxi, but adapted to Wu Yi in the 1930’s. Qi Lan is lightly processed and has a natural almond taste and aroma. The feeling is thick and sweet with a very natural character to it with almost no roasted taste at all. If you are a fan of a lightly roasted Da Hong Pao or Shui Xian you will find this vibrant, sweet and thick tea to your liking.
