Add to my notebook

A worthy representative of the rock wulongs, this wulong with delicately rolled leaves was only slightly roasted, preserving its flavourful vegetal (courgette) and floral fineness. Its full and tangy (tangerine) liquor, deploys rich tropical (durian) and honeyed aromas. Its finish is exquisite and extends well beyond our expectations. Hmmm Hmmm!

Lingtou Yuan Wei Dancong

Wulong Tea
China

A classic black wulong from Guangdong, both very suave and exotic. This tea comes from a less exploited side of the Dan Cong Mountains where crops are grown without chemicals. Its lively and fruity liquor (guava and honeydew melon) displays intense honey and floral fragrances. Powerful in the mouth, vegetal and woody notes are supported by generous tannins. Produced from thirty years old plants, this deep and well balanced tea offers a lot of infusions. Its finish is long, true to its name (meaning "taste of origin"), and worthy of exceptional teas.

Wulong Tea
Taiwan

Its fragrance is rich and diverse and evokes the typical aromatic complexity of wulong, having notes that span toasted grains to flowers. Its liquor is full and soft, and the fruity finish (plum) is sweet and spicy.

Chi Ye Bai Ye

Wulong Tea
China

Made from 35 year old tea plants, this tea with 45% oxidized leaves underwent two traditional roastings over a wood fire giving it a red-brown hue. Slightly tart and sweet, its liquor is full and woody, enhanced by exotic fragrances of ripe fruit and opulent flowers. Its finish is deep and combines its buttery notes with subtle accents of wintergreen.
