Oolongs are known for their balance of flavors, but the Qi Lan Wuyi is particularly notable in its combination of bright fruits with woody and floral notes and even elements of gri lled nuts and spices. Not just a mouthful of a description, this fine large-leaf tea is ideal for exploring your palate. Qi Lan Wuyi, or rare orchid oolong, comes from a 500m garden in the magnificent Wuyi Mountains. Named for the rocky soil in which they grow in the lower elevations of the Wuyi Mountains, rock oolongs like our Qi Lan Wuyi (Rare Orchid Oolong) are as hardy and hearty as they sound. Qi Lan Wuyi is a wonderful oolong for black tea drinkers who are looking for a tea with less astringency and a more balanced palate. As a rock oolong kin to Da Hong Pao and Shui Xian Lao Cong, the Rare Orchid Oolong will also appeal to lovers of darker oolongs who enjoy woody flavors and - true to its name! - floral notes. Wonderfully smooth and slightly sweet and nutty in a sense, this tea will be sure to make you tip your head in approval. Show more
