Orange Blossom Luye Red 

An experimental tea, we thought orange blossoms and our best selling Luye Red Oolong might be a good match. Turns out we thought right, especially for cold brews! 

Made by taking the winter pick of Luye Red and roasting it gently at low temperature with fresh Orange Blossoms last March, the result is a dark, citrus-candy sweet, smooth floral red oolong, slightly earthier that the original unscented version. 

We have been keeping this tea back for a couple months waiting for all the flavors to meld and it is ready to go now. What do you think, should we do it again next year?
