OOLONG TEA Oolong tea leaves are dried, rolled and fired min a prosess much shorter than that used for black teas. The process creats a semi-fermented tea ranging in quality from delicate "Champagne of tea" to basic Chinese restaurant tea. CHINA MU TAN WHITE, Special Grade Long silvery buds with swirling light and dark green leaves give this tea its nickname, "Old Man's Eyebrow". It is prepared by steaming instead of of the customary firing, which makes it very transparent, light and fresh. CHINA SECHUNG OOLONG Sechung is a nearly green oolong, which adds bouquet to its complex flavor. It retains the robustness of most mainland oolongs and a bold leaf style that brews up strongly. CHINA TI KUAN YIN, Special Grade Ours is the best grade of this fabled tea from Anxi Province; one of China's ten most famous teas. It has a pleasant, intense aroma and deep flavor, especially when brewed with a lot of tea to water in a small teapot. FORMOSA (TAIWAN) STANDARD This is the eqivalent of the best Chinese restaurant teas and becomes China Flower tea with a touch of Jasmine added. It is heavier than other Formosa oolongs and more fermented than mainland oolongs. FORMOSA (TAIWAN) CHOICEST Oolongs have been dubbed the "Champagne" of teas as a symbol of effervescent celebration. Light, natural flavor with a fresh aroma and complex character bring this tea close to the quality of far more expensive oolongs. FORMOSA (TAIWAN) FANCIEST This is a truly remarkable tea - a more complex flavor than the other oolongs with an engaging bouquet and a delicious fruity elegance not apparent in other teas. It is clear and smooth, especially when steeped for a recommended long time of up to six or seven minutes.
