Shangri-La Oolong is an exceptional tea that redefines premiumness with its spicy, biscuity, and peppery aromas, and full-bodied richness, elevating tea to the status of fine wine. Our Shangri-la Oolong is a distinctive and artistic tea that stands apart from the lighter Taiwanese oolongs, resembling the darker, roasted Chinese varieties. Unlike typical oolongs, it skips the multiple rolling and oxidation stages. Instead, mature leaves are plucked, withered for a few hours, and treated with an enzyme to soften them and halt oxidation partially. The leaves then undergo a 30-40 minute rolling process at varying pressure levels. Afterward, they are oxidized for about 2 hours before being finished in a commercial dryer. This method results in a dark, heavily oxidized oolong with a rich, nutty flavor. Certfied Organic.
