About this Product
The tea has a distinct charcoal aroma and taste, which is well balanced and gives the tea a smooth sweetness and warm taste.
A traditional charcoal roasted oolong which is unfortunately becoming increasingly rare, due to the skill and difficulty in charcoal roasting compared with modern electric roasting.
The tea is stuffed into bamboo which is roasted over a charcoal fired pit, a process which takes days and requires the skill of a specialist roaster.
The tea is a good candidate for ageing as it should change over time as it rests from the roast.
