Made from the youngest shoots and just-unfurling buds, it offers a more graceful and nuanced cup than many stronger, more heavily oxidised oolongs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"840\" data-end=\"986\"\u003eThe tea sits beautifully between green and black tea in style: fresher and more floral than a black tea, yet warmer and more rounded than a green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1e8h23x\" data-start=\"988\" data-end=\"1042\"\u003eDelicate Floral Sweetness with Smooth Mellow Depth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1211\"\u003eIn the cup, this Formosa oolong loose leaf tea brews to a softly luminous pale gold.
