Shangri-La Oolong

TASTING NOTES: Creamy, spring flowers, woodsy

Shangri-La Oolong is an extra special tea from the Kangra Valley; a cross between a light black tea and a fresh green tea.  It makes a very pure cup with springy floral notes and woodsy forest floor aromas. 

Made by the Mann Garden, which has been in the same family for six generations, it’s one of the most exquisite teas to come out of this relatively unknown tea growing region that is made combining traditional regional practices with inspiration from China and Taiwan.

Kangra lies at the foothills of the snow-capped peaks of the Dhauladhar mountain range (part of the Himalayan chain) in the state of Himachal Pradesh in India's north west at a high altitude of 4000-6000 ft.  The pristine natural environment surrounded by pine forests, and dotted with rushing streams and lakes gives teas from here a vivacious green character all of their own.  

Harvest: April 2023

Buy it, try it, love it!

I was told that the second brew of an Oolong tea is always better than the first brew.

WRONG! This Oolong is excellent from the very first sip.

A stonking brew. Just love it! So full of flavour - nutty, fruity, smoky.

It is a purely decandent brew. When drinking it, I feel I should be sitting in a huge leather chair, in front of a roaring log fire, in an oak paneled room in a house by a Loch, with a sleeping dog at feet.

Truth be told, I'm far from that image, although there is a Loch within walking distance!

My first oolong and it's lovely

This is my first oolong tea that I've tried so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The taste and the scent reminded me of roasted grains and nuts, something like dark rye bread, which reminds me of home and is comforting.
