One of the most popular teas in China, this Iron Buddha variety captivates an enchanting interplay of floral and fruit-forward notes. Belonging to the more oxidized strain of oolong, it has undergone extended roasting, which lends profound complexity and a lingering, nuanced finish.
Carefully crafted at a small, artisanal farm renowned for its meticulous quality control, each batch of this exceptional tea is a work of art. As you savour the liquor, observe how the flavours gracefully transition from delicate honey to succulent, sun-ripened fruit.
This harmonious symphony of tastes and aromas is a testament to the master tea maker's skill, as well as the farm's commitment to sustainable, pesticide-free cultivation practices that allow the leaves to express their full, natural potential.
