Description
Creaminess worthy of the finest Taiwanese Oolongs
This Grand Cru is crafted from ye lai xiang tea trees, a name meaning "night tuberose" in tribute to its enchanting notes. Much like the flower whose fragrance defies the night, this tea occupies the palate with a magnetic presence that refuses to fade.
A Dan Cong evoking the mysterious tuberose, where a heady aromatic profile blends with a beautiful creaminess.
