Yu Gui Oolong

£8.50 – £16.50

**From the crevasses of Wuyi mountain, this Wuyi Oolong tea has a notable hint of buttery pie crust and a sweet finish that echoes the crisp caramel on a crème brûlée.**

If our Wuyi Shuixian (our other Wuyi Oolong tea) and Honey Orchid Phoenix (one of our Phoenix Oolong teas), were to produce a love child, it would be this Yu Gui Oolong.

Hand-plucked in the Wuyi mountains, these long, dark strands of oolong tea leaves produce a strong, full-bodied beverage with an amber hue with honey fragrance and a delicious, natural sweetness reminiscent of brown buttery pie crust and the crisp caramel on a crème brûlée.

The leaves invite you to re-infuse them multiple times with fresh hot water, and with each infusion you’ll experience new nuances of flavour emerging.

This is a luxuriously smooth, aromatic and roasty brew that will comfort and fortify you.
