Formosa Oolong Poppy Fine Grade is a classic Taiwanese loose leaf tea with depth, character and a beautifully distinctive flavour. Made from semi-oxidised oolong leaves, this tea offers the balance that makes fine Formosa oolong so admired, combining smooth body with layers of woody, fruity and gently baked notes. The result is a rich amber cup with warmth, elegance and a satisfying finish that lingers pleasantly.
The Poppy in the name refers to the tea's fine grade rather than its flavour, highlighting the quality of the leaf and the care taken in its production. In Taiwan, the making of oolong tea is regarded as a precious art that takes years of training, and that craftsmanship shows clearly in this tea. While some Taiwanese oolongs are lightly fired with fresher peach-like notes, this tea belongs to the long-fired style, giving it a deeper, more rounded character with soft roasted notes and a fuller, richer liquor.
This is an excellent choice for those who enjoy oolong tea with more warmth and depth than greener styles, while still retaining the elegant balance for which Taiwanese teas are famous. The ingredients in this tea are pure oolong tea, with nothing added, allowing the natural flavour of the leaf to shine through. For anyone seeking Formosa oolong, Taiwanese oolong tea, roasted oolong tea or a premium loose leaf tea with woody, fruity and amber-toned character, Formosa Oolong Poppy Fine Grade is a polished and rewarding choice.
