Woody, gently fruity and softly toasted, it offers a more mellow and comforting style than greener floral oolongs — a rewarding tea for slow afternoons, mindful brewing or anyone exploring oolong from a black tea background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"u2oxiu\" data-start=\"557\" data-end=\"622\"\u003eFormosa Oolong Loose Leaf Tea with Roasted Taiwanese Character\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"624\" data-end=\"879\"\u003eFormosa Oolong Poppy Fine Grade is a classic Taiwanese oolong with a deeper, more warming style. Rather than leaning towards fresh green notes and floral delicacy, this long-fired tea develops richer amber tones, baked warmth and a smooth, settled finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"1018\"\u003eIt is a wonderfully approachable oolong for those who enjoy fuller-bodied teas but want something more nuanced than a standard black tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"feb70p\" data-start=\"1020\" data-end=\"1056\"\u003eWoody, Fruity and Softly Toasted\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1304\"\u003eIn the cup, this Formosa oolong loose leaf tea brews to a warm rich amber with a smooth, satisfying body.
