The young leaves yield a light tea with a flavor of green Muscat. Each tea adds its unique flavor notes to our Exotica Reserve blend. It is a superb afternoon or morning tea. Chinese monks and European traders introduced it to Japan, Sri Lanka and other countries. Today there are more than 3000 varieties of black tea, each having its own distinct character and named for the district in which it is grown.
Black tea is produced by allowing picked tea leaves to completely wither and ferment before firing.
Oolong teas are only partially fermented. Yes, we think that experienced tea drinkers will taste a difference. Many tea connoisseurs will really be happy to see that their favorite teas are available at last in tea bags. In fact, the flavor of Exotica tea bags will be much better than many expensive loose teas, as the foil wrap protects the delicate and exquisite flavors. The packaging is very unique.
