huang jin bolero
Huang Jin Gui is an oolong from Anxi County in Fujian, China, whose name means 'Golden Flower.' This is a lightly roasted tea, giving the cup a pleasantly dry, almond texture with notes of toasted rice. Like any truly beautiful oolong, the floral aromas of this tea are what you'll remember all day long: honey, orchids, apricot. Softly evaporating finish and long, lingering fragrance.101 reviews

lore
Fujian province is one of China's most prolific tea producing areas. These teas account for one-fifth of China's total tea output, and the consistently high quality keeps them in demand. A coastal province (Taiwan lies just to the east, across the Taiwan Strait), Fujian benefits from an excellent climate, combining mild temperatures, abundant rainfall and very mountainous terrain. The misty mountain scenery is a mainstay of traditional Chinese art. In fact, the traditional description of Fujian is '8 parts mountain, 1 part water and 1 part farmland.' Fujian has a long history of cultivating tea: over 1,000 years.
