The leaves of Tie Guan Yin Oolong are tight rolls and have a shiny sandy green look. Its fragrance is rich and aromatic. When you taste it, the tea feels very creamy.

Dong Ding Oolong - 冻顶乌龙 (5g*2 packets)
Dong Ding Oolong originated in Nantou County, Taiwan. The distinctive yellow-green tea soup of this tea creates an exceptionally fresh taste. The fragrance delivers a perfect mix of elegance and cleanliness. A pleasant sweetness remains in your mouth after you swallow the tea. Besides, the light roasting process enhances the tea fragrance by providing warm toasted undertones, that's why you can notice a hint of caramel sweetness.
Zhang Ping Shui Xian - 漳平水仙 (10g*1 brick)
Zhang Ping Shui Xian is a traditional square-pressed oolong tea shaped in wooden molds and processed using the traditional tea-making method. The leaves are thick, with sturdy stems. The leaves show bright green with golden-yellow hues and display reddish margins. The tea soup offers a mostly orchid-like aroma which is clean, elegant and long-lasting. The liquor is a bright golden-yellow. It feels smooth and silky in your mouth, with a light creamy note. Its flavor and shape might even remind you of a brick of cream cheese!
Alishan Oolong - 阿里山乌龙 (5g*1 packet)
The high mountain peaks and constant mist of the Alishan region create this truly special oolong tea. Its aroma is fresh and uplifting, like petals touched by morning dew, full of life. You’ll notice a soft orchid fragrance too, clear and layered. Take a closer sniff, and you’ll catch its natural fruity notes, bright and pleasant. The first sip brings a clean, mineral sweetness, like fresh mountain spring water. It lightly coats your tongue but never feels thick or sticky. After swallowing, a cool, mint-like freshness gently spreads across your tongue, creating an interesting contrast with the tea’s warm, smooth feel.
Milky Oolong / Jin Xuan Oolong - 金萱乌龙 (5g*1 packet)
An oolong tea that smells like milk? That's Milky Oolong. It is famous for its unique milky aroma, a natural creaminess that leaves a wonderful aftertaste. But don’t get it wrong! No additives contribute to the milky smell of the tea because it develops naturally from the tea plant. The tea soup presents itself with a warm soft yellow hue that is both clear and bright. It offers sweet and smooth flavors that never become bitter or unpleasant. The sweet floral aromas combine seamlessly with milky notes. And this lovely taste lingers in your mouth long after you’ve sipped. In addition, it is definitely one of the best teas for cold brewing. If you want to try cold-brewed oolong, this is the perfect choice you won’t want to miss!
High Mountain Oolong - 高山乌龙 (5g*1 packet)
The high mountain oolong tea is usually highly prized, mainly because it grows on very high mountains, up to 2,500 meters tall. High-altitude growing conditions and superior natural surroundings produce exceptional quality tea but make harvesting difficult which results in its rarity and uniqueness. The tea releases a fresh and pleasant fruity fragrance when you brew it. The semi-fermentation processing method delivers a refreshingly clean taste to the tea. The combination of its light texture and smooth refinement together with special floral and fruity notes produces a flavor that remains satisfyingly present in the mouth for an extended time.
Oriental Beauty Oolong - 东方美人 (5g*1 packet)
The distinctive nature of Oriental Beauty tea comes from its unique production process. During its growth phase, the tea leaves require the bites from small insects known as green leafhoppers. The act of insect bites causes their saliva to combine with the tea's natural liquids. This natural process leads to tea that exhibits rich fruit and honey flavors with caramel undertones. People frequently refer to this tea as the "Champagne of Oolongs". And the tea soup shows a bright amber-orange shade similar to the rosy cheeks of a beautiful woman. It has a strong sweet scent like flowers and honey. The flavor presents smoothness combined with mellowness while remaining completely free from bitterness and ending with a delightful lasting sweetness.
