Oolong tea has to be the most diverse tea type in terms of aromas and flavours. This is because of the wide variety of production methods and the number of different processes that can be experimented with by the tea makers.
In this flight box we present three China Oolong teas to taste side-by-side. By experiencing a flight of teas in a horizontal tasting we can directly compare the teas and learn more about them in the process.
This China Oolong Tea Flight box contains three top quality teas which have been selected for comparative tastings. The box contains a letter written by myself to explain the key differences between the teas and how these affect the sensory experience.
The box contains tasting cards to fill out for your reference. Once you have completed a comparative tasting there will be plenty of tea remaining for individual tea sessions.
