Oolong Tea

Shui Jin Gui Oolong

from $10.00

Shui Jin Gui or "Golden Water Turtle" is a varietal named after the hunched over shape of the bush it comes from. It is a rich and savory tea and one of the top four roasted oolongs in China. 

It sports a hint of dark chocolate and slight maltiness in flavor. Complexity abounds as other flavors that bounce around the palate include caramel, spice, root vegetable. Get the aroma cups out for this one as the scent it leaves behind is rich and thick. This tea leaves the drinker feeling like a million bucks, the energy is clean and even.
