Experience the exquisite union of floral sophistication and refined tea craftsmanship in our Oolong Ylang Ylang, where the sensual aroma of Ylang Ylang flowers meets the subtle, smooth character of premium Fujian Dong Ding Oolong. This unique melange is a must try for enthusiasts of both oolong teas and floral fragrances. Carefully blended oolong leaves infused with delicate Ylang Ylang essential oil

Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia and Madagascar, capable of growing up to 12 meters tall. Its highly prized white blossoms are harvested fresh to extract an essential oil through a meticulous hydro distillation process. The resulting oil is renowned for its enchanting, sweet, and slightly fruity floral scent-an aroma that is both uplifting and calming.

The essential oil of Ylang Ylang is celebrated not only for its captivating fragrance but also for its therapeutic benefits. Known for its relaxing effects on the nervous system, it is traditionally used as a natural antidepressant and mood enhancer. Additionally, Ylang Ylang oil has a reputation as a natural aphrodisiac, adding an element of sensuality to this tea blend.

Upon infusion, the Dong Ding Oolong delivers its classic smooth, slightly roasted, and subtly sweet notes, enhanced by the intoxicating, floral bouquet of Ylang Ylang. The tea’s natural depth and complexity harmonize effortlessly with the delicate, exotic floral fragrance with hints of tropical fruit and spice, creating a cup that is both elegant and sensuous. With a taste of smooth oolong body with a gentle floral finish and a silky and velvety, leaving a lingering floral sweetness mouthfeel

For optimal experience, brew the tea using the Gong Fu Cha method or a Western style infusion to capture the nuanced floral aroma without overpowering the delicate oolong base.

Brewing Recommendations:

• Warm your teapot or gaiwan by rinsing it with hot water, then discard the water.
• Rinse the leaves adding the tea leaves to your preheated vessel.
• Pour a small amount of hot water over the leaves, just enough to cover them.
