November 2023 Tea Offerings & News

This fervent Yunnan black tea has the familiar notes of bittersweet chocolate like other black teas from the Wu Liang Mountains, but with the complexities and lingering smoothness of an expertly crafted oolong.

Due to its higher levels of oxidization, this tea can be stored for several years, but it's so delicious we don't think that will be possible!
