Formosa Oolong

A classic oolong from Taiwan, this tea is medium-bodied, slightly fruity, and smooth with a light toastiness in the finish; delicious alone or with a meal. A perfect afternoon tea that is gluten-free. A small tin yields 20-25 cups; a large bag about 50.

My Cup of Tea is a Memphis nonprofit. Each purchase supports jobs for women of color in the historic Black neighborhood of Orange Mound.
