Light color, sweet flavor, and a buttery profile with notes of pineapple. Not a black tea, not so much a green, oolongs retain a fresh and totally distinct palate. Watch the tight clusters expand into whole leaves as it steeps.

China/Scented Green Tea

The top two leaves and bud of this tea undergo the yin hao process of jasmine scenting, involving the addition and removal of jasmine petals from the tea 13 separate times. Individual leaves are hand-rolled into small pearls. Watch the pearls slowly unfurl, releasing a complex and supremely aromatic tea.
