Named for the beautiful jade green colour of the leaf, high-grown “jade oolongs” are known for their creamy, almost buttery taste, crafted with supreme skill by artisan tea tasters. We\'ve sourced this particular variety from the township of Zhu Shan (\"Bamboo Mountain\") in Nantou County, one of the best tea-producing areas in Taiwan. Grown at high altitudes, our Jade Oolong has a sublimely light, floral quality, very different from roasted \"dark\" oolongs. The carefully controlled process of partial oxidation allows the leaves to develop a substantial flavour and a slightly fruity fragrance, while preserving the soft, silky taste and texture; and the tightly rolled tea pearls can be brewed multiple times.
