99% Oxidized Purple Oolong – Rare, Bold Oolong from Indonesia

99% Oxidized Purple Oolong is a bold, distinctive oolong that offers a memorable tasting experience. It is grown in Indonesia, a region better known for black tea, which makes it a rare find for tea shops and retailers. Its almost complete oxidation gives the tea a depth and richness unlike that of any other oolong, setting it apart from the lightly oxidized styles that dominate most oolong ranges.

The heavily oxidized leaves are a deep purple color, yet they brew a thick, rich, caramel-colored liquor. The flavor is solid and complex, with notes of cinnamon, coffee, musk and amber layered over rich earthy undertones, an unusual combination to find in a single tea. The finish is bold, warm and lingering. This is a strong oolong, considerably bolder than lightly oxidized styles, and one that experienced tea enthusiasts will appreciate for its complexity. It is well suited to multiple infusions, and, as with any good tea, the flavors develop and grow more complex with each steeping. It can be prepared gongfu-style or in a teapot, allowing drinkers to discover its evolving layers across many infusions. It makes a satisfying morning alternative to coffee, and pairs well with dark chocolate, spiced baked goods and roasted nuts, supporting pairing menus and tasting events. It also works as an intriguing gift for tea explorers.
