Ooooh Darjeeling in bulk available for wholesale. A rare oolong tea from Darjeeling, India. The traditional home of oolong tea is, of course, China and Taiwan. For India, it's fairly uncommon to produce anything other than black tea. However, the growers of Singbulli Estate have produced this exquisite exception. Muscat grape and apricot pit aroma (also a characteristic of fine Darjeeling black teas, interestingly). Tangy dried fruit flavor, deep floral notes that linger like any great oolong should. A must-try for anyone seeking to learn more about tea on a very deep level: this is an exercise in the taste of 'terroir', the place where the tea is grown.
This tea contains a moderate level of caffeine | Steep at 212° for 3-4 minutes.

“ Amazing! I cannot say enough to describe how wonderful this tea is. I call this tea 'Rare Darjeeling Oolong' in my shop. This is a dark oolong that hits on aroma and flavor. Far more robust and flavorful than the light oolongs, this tea brings a flavor I rarely experience: muscatel (one of my favorite flavors). Since Oolongs are considered an in-between of green and black tea, this tea brings the boldness of black tea and the smoothness of green tea. I will be a continuous customer for this tea. ” (3 mins @ 185°F)

“ One of my favorite oolongs. This is just a perfect all around tea. It's a great start to a day with a little almond milk and some honey. ” (4 mins @ 190°F)

“ This one was surprisingly not bad! It was smooth and light. I made sure to brew it at a cooler temperature though, which prevented it from tasting bitter. ” (5 mins @ 185°F)

“ This was a surprise favorite for me. It’s lighter in body and somewhat more delicate than my usual faves but a lovely change, and I do find multiple infusions are still quite enjoyable. ”

Fresh From Origin
The passion for Chinese tea of the 19th century British Empire nearly depleted its coffers so Queen Victoria tasked botanists to find and transfer the Chinese jat to its own colony, India. After many desperate attempts, by Robert Fortune and others, planted tea successfully in Darjeeling's hill country and has since produced nearly two centuries tea with apricot fruitiness, clear liquor, and light astringency. Singbulli Estate has succeeded in designing an effective oxidation process to produce an oolong, preserving the decidedly Darjeeling character in its elegant autumnal gold/green/brown leaves. A divine afternoon tea is the result.You'll Also Enjoy
