Organic Long Lai Oolong Tea

Unlike many of the Oolong teas that are produced from Chinese cultivars, this organic Oolong tea is made from Assam hybrid tea. Long Lai ("longing for") has a very different profile from most Oolong teas found in China and Taiwan. The tea is made only in the first 2 months of the year during cooler nights and sunny days at the Araksa tea garden in Chiangmai, Thailand. Long Lai is smooth and balanced with a deep golden color, herbaceous floral notes and hints of honey sweetness.
