Vendor Notes
This Wuyi Rock Oolong opens with a captivating aroma of wild orchids and iris, beautifully complemented by a medium charcoal roast that brings forth notes of buttered toffee and freshly baked cake. As the infusions progress, a warming spice akin to gingerbread emerges, mellowing into a remarkably soft and creamy finish, reminiscent of a buttery Dancong.
