Honey Black Oolong
A real treat for those that love Red Oolongs and Honey Fragrance Black tea, this hybrid of the two genres is full of honey, rose and dark oolong goodness. Relatively rare, this type of tea can only be made at just the right time of the deep winter in the south of Taiwan when the bugs wake up a little but before the hot weather arrives to change the taste of the tea leaves to the woody strength of the warmer months.
We haven't had this tea for on the site a long while and we are happy to have it back. There are more than a few wonderful tea people that are sure to share our happiness about its return as well!
**Like all our teas, there are no added flavors, colors or chemicals in this tea. All flavors are completely natural and chemical-free!**
