Smokey Oolong 凍頂金萱烏龍
Our Smokey Oolong hails from the legendary birthplace of the first oolong tea, Lu Gu. Picked from the notoriously pristine Dong Ding Mountain, our Smokey Oolong embodies traditional, old-world techniques and highlights the region’s masterful craftsmanship in perfecting oolong varietals. After being oxidized and rolled, the pearls are carefully roasted over a fire of sweet longan wood, naturally tempering any bitterness and melding together earthy notes of toasted caramel. Infusing longan smoke into the leaves adds a nuance and complexity that invites the adventurous to explore the depths of their palate with a rich contrast to lighter, floral selections.
