These "Mini Green Oolong Cakes" are made from the grower's special blend of a Yunnan pu-erh cultivar and a transplanted Taiwan Jinxuan cultivar that is better known as the source of milk oolong. The leaves are very lightly roasted to bring out a soft sweetness yet leaving the floral notes of a greener oolong intact. Notes of spring flowers mingled with hint of citrus mark this tea as an early spring treat. These 7-gram leaf "cakes" come in hand-tied bamboo wrap of 7 individually paper-wrapped cakes for a fun teatime.

Lore
Before tea traveled in tidy tins and labeled packets, it often journeyed the old way: pressed into cakes. This practical form protected the leaves, made them easier to carry, and gave each tea a sense of ceremony before the first sip was ever poured. Our Green Oolong Tea Leaf Cakes honor that tradition with a tea that is lightly oxidized, floral, and fresh, yet deepened by the quiet character that comes from compression.
