Amber Oolong
/
If you love the roasted flavor type of tea, this Amber oolong is a great introduction to someone that loves the charcoal roasted flavor. You can smell the deep wood, charcoal aroma right after brewing. A hint of spice like cloves, nutmeg and black pepper combine with the sweet roasted charcoal makes this tea is a perfect tea to drink with grilled meats.
With a proper brewing, this oolong can be brewed for at least 10 times. Use a lower temperature (around 195F) to bring out more of the fruitiness of this tea or brew with higher temperature if you like more of a complex and spicier version of this oolong.
Origin: Nantou, Taiwan
Notes: wood, nutmeg, black pepper, banana
