This highly oxidized oolong has traits of both oolong and black tea, with a naturally sweet honey scent. Great for invigorating you early in the morning, or pairing with sweets. These pure tea leaves are packed with flavor and expand more and more as they brew. Steep the same leaves multiple times to draw out unique layers of flavor with each subsequent cup. Once you've brewed a cup, you may keep the steeped tea leaves in the fridge (out of water) to save and re-steep later in the day, or the next day, to get the most out of this exquisite tea!

This specific tea has to be grown in the most natural way possible, without the use of pesticides. Small tea leaf hoppers are allowed to munch on the tea leaves during the growing period. This causes a chemical reaction in the leaves that generates a natural honey taste and fragrance that is highly desired. Honey Black Oolong tea has no added artificial or natural flavors.

We love ETC’s mission to make some of the world’s best teas accessible to more people! They believe in ethical practices that support growers while respecting the environment, and much of the profit goes directly to tea farmers and professionals, as well as to promoting tea culture and tea education. To drive transparency in everything they do, they even offer a mobile platform for real-time product tracking, where you can input the batch number of your tea, and look up information about the source, timeline, and tasting profile of the tea - how cool is that?!
