Taiwanese 'Four Seasons' Oolong, grown in Nantou County, gently fired and rolled into tight spherical shapes. This tea is an excellent entry level oolonng, with a delicate floral taste and an aroma reminiscent of lilly of the valley.
Because the tea is tightly rolled, it can benefit from a brief 'wash' to open up the leaves. Simply pour a little hot water on and leave to infuse for 15 seconds or so, then discard, and proceed to brew as normal.
