Enjoy the tastes of spring and sunshine with Bird Song Oolong, a soft and elegant blend. Its exquisite base is a Wu-yi varietal oolong, cultivated at low elevations in central Taiwan. Lightly oxidized and roasted, this tea reveals natural floral and herbaceous notes. We have enhanced the blend with fragrant rose petals, chamomile blossoms, and fruity lemon balm, offering a delightful balance of flavors. Enjoy Bird Song iced during hot summer months, with a slice of lemon for a refreshing twist.
*Oolong teas can be steeped multiple times. With this blend, the flavors of the chamomile, lemon balm and rose will fade with subsequent steeps, but the natural floral notes of the oolong will strengthen. Each brew will be a new experience!
