Golden Turtle
This lightly oxidized oolong comes to us from the Fujian province of China, an area where many of our favorite oolongs are grown, including Tie Guan Yin. This leaf was picked and processed in autumn of 2023 and is of very high quality. Its flavor is smooth and sweet with an aroma sometimes reminiscent of famous Taiwanese grown oolongs - nutty, buttery, vegetal with accompanying floral notes. A rich, nutty aftertaste with no astringency sometimes present in Tie Guan Yin.
