A wonderful introduction to the fun discovery of oolong teas. Each sample makes about 8-10 cups of tea. This set includes (though subject to change without notification):formosa oolong (#8) - A darker oolong tea from Taiwan, formerly known as Formosa (which means 'Beautiful'). Deep raisiny and ripe fruit aroma, autumn 'leafy' note. Lingering flavor and smooth, refreshingly fruity astringency. A lovely introduction to Taiwanese tea.
formosa bai hao (#40) - This Taiwan tea, also called Fancy Formosa Silver Tip or Oriental Beauty, is one of the world's most prized oolongs. More heavily oxidized, yielding luxurious floral, peach-pit fragrance. Incredibly sweet and lush, delicate warm spicy undertone.
ooooh darjeeling - Very rare oolong from Singbulli Estate, Darjeeling, India. Muscat grape and apricot pit aroma (also the mark of fine Darjeeling black teas). Dried fruit flavor, lingering floral notes. A lesson in 'terrior': the place where the tea is grown.
wuyi ensemble - Oolong from the WuYi Mountains in Fujian, China. Savory aroma, roasted vegetables. Faint pit-fruit notes. Honey-floral flavor and nutty, with white sesame, sweetened burdock root (fans of Japanese sweets, anyone?) or barley. Satisfying and hearty.
