Description: Fragrant jasmine blossoms permeate pure hand-harvested oolong loose leaf tea resulting in an amber peach color with a fresh aromatic bouquet and sweet refreshing taste.
This beautiful tea comes from thousand year-old trees on the Jing Mai Mountain in China. The protected forest reserve is enshrouded in mist and located approximately 5,000 feet above sea level. The best buds and leaves are hand plucked by scaling the tall trees and then oxidized using a traditional oxidation process to reach a specific maturation point. They are then crafted with traditional scenting techniques using whole jasmine blossoms. A real one-of-a-kind tea.

2 Resteep:500ml 195°F 4 minutes
I like this better, stronger, closer to an oxidized oolong. Less perfume aftertaste and more sweet.
