Rose Petal Shanlinxi Red Oolong

Sweet, soft, and deep rose florals will greet the brewers of this delicate tea. A Shanlinxi Red Oolong base scented with fresh rose petals, this tea is sure to please anyone who enjoys floral blends. Made with tea from a much higher elevation than many scented teas(1600m), the warm smoothness of this higher oxidized oolong is something special.

We find that these leaves and petals brew best with western style brewing, namely longer steeps with more water, but gongfu brewing works fine as well. This tea is a great one to reach for if you are in the mood for a soft, warm rose floral hug!
