Shuixian (Water Sprite) Loaded with flavor and a long, lingering aftertaste...this is an oolong to awaken the senses. Roasted flavors mingle with delicate orchid and hints of seaweed. Grown from a unique strain of tea tree on Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province, Shuixian oolong is comprised of long, very large leaves that are almost black in appearance. The aroma of the leaves permeates the air and the taste is intense and satisfying. Quite a wonderful experience. One of the rare teas that benefits from storage as the flavors will continue developing and refining. 1 oz. - $7.60 (refill

Zen Flower Oolong (Gardenia) This high mountain 'green' oolong (mao shia) from the Tian Xing Tea Garden undergoes only 15-20% oxidation and is lightly scented with gardenia blossoms.

I would never call it flowery, the oolong stands out so beautifully that the gardenia is only a welcome supporting character. This oolong can be infused so many times, it's absolutely astonishing and a true gem. 3 oz. - $12.40 (refill
