Japanese Oolong

When one thinks of Oolong, Japan isn't a growing region that typically comes to mind. Most oolongs are Chinese in origin with Taiwanese high-mountain oolong teas becoming quite well regarded as of late. This example of the Oolong variety changes things. Similar in aroma to a Taiwanese high-mountain Oolong, this Japanese example has a smooth and buttery mouthfeel with a light, jasmine taste and a hint of apricot at the finish. Grown in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, by cultivators with over a century of experience, this rare Japanese Oolong is sure to treat.
