FLAVOR EXPERIENCE
Our Purple oolong is an oxidized leaf that is bold and very smooth with a
lingering sweetness. It has rich citrusy flavor notes. While the leaves are a deep
purple color, the brew produces a deep amber color due to the oxidized leaf. The
leaves can be re-steeped more than once. Sweeten if desired. Delicious hot or
cold.
