formosa oolong

type: oolong

origin: taiwan

ingredients: oolong tea

caffeine: medium

price level: $$$$

Formosa Oolong is a darker style oolong tea from Taiwan, formerly known as Formosa (which means 'beautiful', given by the Portuguese explorers of the island). Deep raisiny and ripe fruit aroma, autumn 'leafy' notes. Lingering sweet flavor and smooth, refreshingly fruity astringency. This Formosa Oolong is easy to prepare and remains a lovely introduction to Taiwanese tea. Steep at 212°F for 3-5 minutes

      Very much a fall tea. Nice and earthy with a touch of fruitiness.

      I love this tea so much! It puts me in mind of the lovely, earth teas served after a meal at a nice restaurant

      Smells a bit like tabacco, tastes like buttered mashed potatoes

      Simple, smooth, roasty flavor. Not my typical cup of tea, but very nice!

      A nicely robust oolong. Good clean flavor and smooth finish.
