Gui Fei oolong is a remarkably distinctive and unique Taiwanese tea in both flavour and stories to tell about! For the stories, read the Background Information found below, for some tasting references we could easily sum it up by honey, honey, and more honey! Wild honey that is, with it's mineral and pastoral complexity of wild flower sweetness with roasted nuts and woodsy overtones. Honey in the colour, Honey in the texture. Honey in the soothing, sweet comforting taste! We simply can't make enough and end up producing several Lots in one year. This new Lot 1250 follows in footsteps of all its earlier iterations under the expert tea baking skills of our Award-Winning tea refiner, Yuwen. It was baked during the last weeks of June 2023 and allowed to mellow until the cooler temperatures settled-in in mid-Sept 2023. It follows in the footsteps of our previous lots and has undergone a 3 stage baking process with air-tight mellowing breaks of several weeks in between. This allows the flavours and aromas to stabilize and fully permeate the leaves. For those of you who liked our previous lots, this year's bakings are one good notch above owing to the particularly generous Spring T-12 Jin Xuan Oolong we've secured earlier this year. This is a wonderful tea for chilly afternoons and evenings or summer camp fire rejoicings.
