The processing method for this Wu Yi oolong tea has been meticulously respected. The dry tea leave show a really dark color that that is due to the heavy baking the tea has undergone. Hard wood charcoal was used to bake the tea for a period of 12 hours. The noze is still giving away the heavy baking even though we stored this tea for almost more than two months prior to releasing it. The tea leaves exhibit a dark browish hue with the "white glaze" typical to Wu Yi oolong tea. The tea still needs some storage before the aromas are totally balanced but it is already nice to drink gong fu style for the tea lovers who like traditional Wu Yi oolong tea.
