China Fancy Oolong


China Fancy Oolong has a taste similar to green tea rather than black tea. It doesn't have the sweet aroma of black nor the grassy vegatal taste of green. It is typically brewed strong with slight bitterness leaving a sweet aftertaste. The oolong produced in the Wuyi Mountains of northern Fujian and in the central mountains of Taiwan are among the most famous Chinese teas. Oolong tea leaves are either rolled into long curly leaves while others are pressed into a ball form like gunpowder tea. The first method is the oldest.

Yungui Plateau covers southwestern China. It has sky high mountain peaks, rolling hills, and deep river-carved gorges. The climate of the plateau is subject to intense solar radiation and cold temperatures. The climate is divided into dry and wet seasons. The climate on the plateau is very diverse. The region has a strong tea tradition. The bright, golden cup is velvety soft with nuances of cinnamon and summer fruit. Leaves can be brewed several times. China Fancy has a creamy, lemon taffy scent with just a hint of vegetal characteristics.
