Description
This tea is harvested in Palampur, a village in the northern Indian district of Kangra. Its name, oolong, means "black dragon" in reference to its long-roasted tea leaves, which bring to mind the body of a black dragon.
This delightful Grand Cru has strikingly indulgent stewed fruit, spice and honey notes that develop against a silky texture.
