Meihouwang (Roasted Anxi Oolong)

The Meihouwang is a prime example of traditionally roasted Anxi Oolong tea.  The leaves have seen a mid-range of oxidization, plenty of green and grassiness remaining, while the roast is simply sublime.  This tea gives us everything we want out of a rich, full bodied, Autumn-harvest oolong.  From the leaves and liquor waft aromas of malted barley and warm cream, the brew is an oily dark gold, and the presence of this tea is both heavy on the tongue and deep in the stomach. We received a sample of this tea from a ‘new-generation’ producer out of Anxi, and after drinking though the 14 grams fast, we turned around and bought 2kg.  As it became such a treasured daily-drinker for us, we began sampling it out to customers, and received such phenomenal feedback that here it is, on the site for pre-order.  We are only selling through the existing stock because we have yet to visit the farm to check that their environment, organizational structure, and tea processing are all up to our standards
