WHERE IT COMES FROM

Fujian, China

The base tea grows at approximately 1,100 meters in Fujian. Leafhopper interaction contributes to the development of its characteristic honeyed and fruity aromatic profile.

After withering, repeated shaking, 60–80% oxidation, fixation and rolling, the finished oolong is scented with fresh gardenia blossoms from Fuding through repeated layering, scenting and drying.
