Dragon Phoenix Oolong

Available from Miro Tea when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

A delicate, lighter rolled oolong of the Shan Lin Xi variety, this tea may be allowed to pleasantly unfold over several steepings. On the first steep, a honeyed floral sweetness rides atop a rounded creaminess suggestive of a fine Jinxuan. A slight green astringency cuts through the creaminess, fading on subsequent steeps into a mellow glow of sweet peaches and summer blooms.
