Organic Wild Cultivar Red
We managed to get a limited amount of this wild and wonderful experiment of Camellia Formosensis made into a red oolong and we would love to hear what you think. A bit of a tea for the tea nerds, the red fruit notes of this tea meld well with the Formosensis notes to create an unique flavor profile. It is great to contrast with the lighter oxidized Wild Cultivar Oolong and if you like that tea this it is worth a try!
