Mr Chen\'s 4 Season\'s Rolled Green Oolong Taiwan    80 deg°C    £7.50 A very fragrant rolled green oolong of the four season's varietal. Very fragrant and delicious for everyday or slightly special occasions. Excellent value and real drinking pleasure. Pouchong/Bao Zhong: some in stock     80-85 degrees°C    £0.00 I have some very small quantities of some very good Pouchongs. eMail for details. Amber Oolong Taiwan    90°C    £5.25 Also from Nantou County, Amber is a satisfying, charcoal-finished, Tie Guan Yin oolong. It has a slightly smoky 'bitter chocolate' taste that fills the mouth with slight hints of the passion fruit that typifies the varietal. Another excellent digestive that has, because of high-temperature finishing, reduced caffeine. White Tip Oolong Taiwan    90°C    £5.75 A dark oolong that gives a rich golden liquor with a dry, orangey, muscatel bouquet. Grown without chemicals from the areas to the south of Taipei, it is an excellent digestive, reminiscent of some quality Darjeelings. Known also as Oriental Beauty.
