Golden Lily Black -

Jing Shan Black Tea

What a special treat, a beautiful black tea from the famous Golden Lily (milk oolong) trees grown at 3,000 feet in Fujian Province. Oxidized to 80%, this unique tea is everything. Light, yet packed with flavor. It's a bit like a dark oolong; full of roasted grain notes, floral aroma, sweet and bitter cocoa, honey, crusty bread, stone fruit...I could keep describing this tea forever. It has a low astringency and infuses into a medium amber cup. I can say wholeheartedly, I am hooked. Try multiple infusions.
