"The feeling remains even after the glitter fades..."
Let go of the path leading you from A to B, and follow that foxfire bioluminescence into the forest - you’ll find the same glow in your cup when you brew this tea. Take a stroll through the forested mountains at the heart of Taiwan with this jade oolong from the fabled heights of Da Yu Ling mountain.
This years Fairy Fire carries notes of mangosteen, and bears an aroma of scalded cream. It’s thick, silky texture is characteristic of high mountain oolongs. The lingering sweetness continues long after the flavor dissipates.
