Glenburn Classic Oolong Tea

GLENBURN CLASSIC OOLONG TEA
Introducing a meticulously crafted tea featuring crisp, frosted leaves that showcase a harmonious blend of copper brown, golden, and silver tips, all enveloped in a delightful woody aroma. This speciality Darjeeling oolong is produced in limited quantities at the end of the harvest season, utilising only the most skilled tea pickers to ensure exceptional quality. Upon infusion, the whole copper leaves release a tangy aroma, resulting in a luminous golden-yellow liquor that captivates the palate with its floral and fruity notes. The complexity of this tea is evident, offering a delightful interplay of fruity sweetness. The lightly oxidised leaves yield a light amber cup, characterised by sweet floral high notes and a lingering finish that hints at jasmine, peach, and apricot. Expertly crafted, this exquisite tea strikes a perfect balance between smoothness and refreshing flavour, making it an ideal choice for enjoyment at any time of day.
