Description

Oolong tea or black tea?

As the Yellow Rose cultivar is mainly used for oolong tea from Wuyishan (also known as ‘Wuyi rock tea’), the experienced tea drinker will recognise the mineral base that characterises such oolong teas. However, this tea is still classified as a black tea, because it’s processed like one.

Thus, this is quite an entertaining tea for the curious minds out there, which positions itself between the traditional black and oolong tea categories.
