About This Product
The Oolong Sampler includes three small tins packaged together in a gift box. The set is a perfect gift for a tea lover or a nice way to try a range of oolong teas. Each tin contains 1.5 oz of tea, has double lids for air tight closure and can be reused. Listed below are the varieties in the sampler:
Frozen Summit – Green oolong from central Taiwan. Very flowery aroma similar to orchids. Yields multiple infusions.
Black Dragon – From the famous oolong producing area of Anxi in Fujian, China, Black Dragon is a 40 percent oxidized oolong. The leaves are tightly rolled into small pellets. When infused, the leaves unfold into their original state and provide many infusions.
Green Dragon – Smooth oolong from Fujian Province, China. Full-bodied golden infusion with a toasty, grassy-sweet flavor and light floral notes.
Please Note: The color of tin shipped may vary from those illustrated here, based on our stock availability. We usually package in silver, black or copper colored tins.
