We have released an Oolong Tea Trial Set. We selected seven recommended Oolong teas and packaged them in 10g sets. This set is perfect for those who want to try various Oolong teas but are unsure which to choose, or for those looking for a casual gift.
Each tea is packaged in an oxygen-free environment, so it will remain fresh for over 10 years if unopened.
Many people associate Oolong tea with bottled beverages, thinking of it as a bitter, brown tea. However, well-managed Oolong tea made with quality ingredients and methods has a floral and fruity flavor, making it a very delicious tea.
It comes packaged in a box, making it suitable as a simple gift.

Ali Shan Tea
This is one of Taiwan's representative high mountain Oolong teas. Made from spring tea harvested from gardens at an altitude of 1500-1600m, it offers a citrus and floral aroma. It is a tea that can be enjoyed even by those who usually drink Sencha.
Deep Fired Dong Ding Oolong
Dong Ding Oolong from Dong Ding Mountain (Lugu) is roasted for more than 10 hours to bring out a sweet flavor like dried fruit. It is a full-bodied tea that spreads widely in the mouth.
Wenshan Baozhong Tea
Among many Oolong teas, this one has the lowest level of fermentation and can be enjoyed like green tea. Its aroma is much stronger than green tea, with a sweet scent reminiscent of orchid flowers.
Traditional Dong Ding Oolong Tea Special
This is a representative Taiwanese tea made using traditional methods with long fermentation. By carefully controlling the fermentation towards the end, the fermentation is retained within the leaves, enhancing the floral aroma. Dong Ding Mountain tea is known for its rich flavor and robust taste. As the name "Special" suggests, this is a limited tea.
Phoenix Oolong Ya Shi Xiang No.2
From Phoenix Dancong, the high-grade tea that represents Chinese oolong, we chose Ya Shi Xiang, which is hugely popular in the growing area. Legend says that when this tea was found, its aroma was so good that the owner, afraid it would be stolen, gave it a terrible name (Ya Shi Xiang means duck droppings aroma). It has a very bright flavor of flowers, tropical fruit and peach.
It is made from tea plucked from old tea trees, and you can clearly feel its long finish and rich aftertaste.
Medium Fired Tie Guan Yin
Tie Guan Yin is a famous Oolong tea representing Anxi. Made from the authentic Tie Guan Yin cultivar, this tea has a long finish. The light roast gives it a toasty flavor along with an elegant orchid-like note. It goes very well with food, whether Japanese, Western or Chinese.
Anxi Rou Gui
Rou Gui is the Chinese name for cassia, the spice. As the name suggests, this cultivar has a subtle cassia-like flavor. A heavier fermentation and a stronger roast give it a rich, toasty note.
