Aged Oolong in Pomelo
Pomelo, the Chinese grapefruit, is the largest of all citrus fruits. It encloses this Oolong tea (unusual for this kind of aged tea) giving it an added sweet and tangy flavor similar to plum or raisin - a taste surprising and worth experiencing.

Pu-erh Teas
Pu-erh tea is prized in China for its health benefits, but is still gaining recognition in the west due to it's strong flavor. Pu-erh is harvested from old, large leaf varieties in Yunnan province, where it then undergoes several unique processing steps, mainly, being heaped into large piles and being allowed to "compost". Constant turning of the leaves and careful monitoring of the moisture and temperature are essential to the finished product. Often, after firing, the finished pu-erhs are stored underground to allow them to age properly, sometimes up to 50 years!
