Pomelo Flower Fragrance Oolong
**The fresh 2024 pick is in stock and great as always. We used a higher quality Milk Oolong this year and it is wonderful!**
Ruisui Taiwan is famous for two things, tea and pomelos. This tea is a mix of both. Fresh spring-picked milk oolong infused with the intoxicating citrus/jasmine smell of pomelo flowers. The tea and flowers are laid together, but not mixed. They are dried together, but without touching, at low heat over up to two days. The process creates an amazing expression of spring, a rare and beautiful tea.
This tea is only made for about two weeks in the Taiwanese spring. A very limited amount of tea is made. If you would like some, it is best not to wait too long!
While brewing this tea it is best to treat it like a green tea, with longer, cooler water steeps. If the water is too hot it can burn off the gorgeous perfume-like citrus floral notes that have been infused into this amazing tea.
