Three oolongs will allow you to learn the flavor well!

In the world of tea, oolong is the middle leaf.  It is processed, as we noted a few weeks ago, to be halfway between lightly oxidized green tea and completely oxidized black tea.  This gives a good oolong a flavor that can be hard to nail down in words.  There is some astringency, yet also a bit of a floral note.  We think every tea lover will enjoy the crash course in oolong flavor offered by this beautiful gift package from our host, Red Leaf Tea.  Including a standard oolong from Southern China, a Yunan regional specialty oolong called Sechang, and another loose-leaf wonderfully flavored with passionfruit, this Oolong Gift Pack will offer a great round of tea tasting and savoring to everyone!
