This season we put one puerh, one Taiwanese oolong, and one Dan Cong for our tea club box. We hope you can find some comfort and happiness as you sip through this season’s selection.
This 2008 Wild Yiwu Raw Puerh is very unique. The farmers trekked almost 2 weeks to get deep into the mountain to find these wild grown trees. When you drink this tea, it takes you back to the mountain; you can taste the mountain and woods with a little hint of smokiness in your cup. The smokiness has smoothed out a lot as it aged, so it’s like the smoke from far away. Toward the later infusions, the tea reveals more sweetness with some fruit notes. This tea also feels amazing; this the tea that I would reach for when I am feeling under pressure or stressed. It calms me down like I just meditated with amazing incense.
Royal oolong is from a biodynamic farm in Dong Ding region in Taiwan, we’ve been getting a small batch of this tea every year from a tea roaster. The tea roaster has done amazing roasting to these leaves grown and harvested under optimal conditions. This is one of the teas we absolutely love and yet the quantity is so limited that we only have enough to share through tea subscriptions.
People love Dan Cong for the unique and amazing aroma. Mi Lan Xiang means honey orchid aroma. And just like how it’s named, my mouth is filled with mellow, honey, and orchid as I savor the tea. The tea is very refreshing and pleasant to enjoy, especially for the warmer days.
