Description
If our Wuyi Shuixian (our other Wuyi Oolong tea) and Honey Orchid Phoenix (one of our Phoenix Oolong teas), were to produce a love child, it would be this Yu Gui Oolong.
Hand-plucked in the Wuyi mountains, these long, dark strands of oolong tea leaves produce a strong, full-bodied beverage with an amber hue with honey fragrance and a delicious, natural sweetness reminiscent of brown buttery pie crust and the crisp caramel on a crème brûlée.
The leaves invite you to re-infuse them multiple times with fresh hot water, and with each infusion you’ll experience new nuances of flavour emerging.
This is a luxuriously smooth, aromatic and roasty brew that will comfort and fortify you.
