This leaf is dark in appearance and is 80-90 % oxidized.An old style oolong as it is long thick full leaf that is medium roasted over charcoal ember fires. Filled with character and nuance this is a strong, bold, woodsy oolong.

Brewing: water 6 oz. 195F / leaves - generous tablespoon / steeping - 1-2 mins. Hint: Best brewed in a gaiwan doing multiple short infusions. Give the tea a quick rinse before brewing to 'wake up' the leaves.
