Red Thunder Autumn Oolong Tea Tin
A Darjeeling autumn tea blend with luscious fruity aromas.
description
A delicious oolong that’s aromatic and welcoming. Candied oranges pleasantly hit the palate with the first sip as the sweetness of prunes show up intermittently. These flavors stay through the cup with soft hints of fruit tart lighting up the edges and giving the cup a unique profile. The autumnal woody tones smoothen the liquor toward the end and make way for crisper notes of sweet-tart berries. This stays on for an excellent finish.

taste
A light-bodied, lively cup which beams with radiant characters right from the start. The liquor opens with a delicious burst of candied orange slices interlaced with subtle sweetness of muskmelon; defining the taste profile of the liquor. These flavors reverberate throughout, complemented by light floral hints around the edges - adding a rich, rounded character to the cup. Subtle nutty flavors can be perceived towards the end, which however subside to reveal citrusy-sweet flavors akin to red berries which lingers on; making for a superlative Autumnal oolong from Darjeeling.
