Vendor Notes
This rare Taiwanese oolong, born from wild Camellia formosensis bushes, offers an incredibly unique floral essence reminiscent of violets, deepened by anthocyanin-rich purple tips. The Winter harvest adds a distinctive herbal medicine note to a broth that is otherwise deep, round, and sweet, with a wonderfully full, smooth, and velvety mouthfeel.
