Red Phoenix Shanlinxi Oolong
Made from summer material picked from the same garden as this spring's Phoenix Valley Shanlinxi Oolong, this dark oolong is a blast of thick, red fruit flavor. This tea was first released back in the spring in a subscription box, and then put on a shelf and forgotten! Which is actually a good thing, as a little age has made this tea even better. We only have 1kg of it left, so if you are interested in trying it out, best not to wait too long!
**This one works really well with western-style brewing!
