Type: Oolong Tea

Description: This pouchong tea is vacuum-packed (4 oz.) at the factory to ensure absolute quality and freshness. The leaf is hand-made and a little darker than many pouchongs. The steeped cup is wonderfully aromatic with sweet lilac notes. The liquor is sweet, silky-smooth, full of flavor, with that lovely lilacy pouchong-esque character. If ordering 2 oz. this tea will be packed in our regular TeaSource zip bag.
