Grown in the Wuyi mountains of Fujian province, where scolars and monks perfected the making of oolong over 500 years ago, this tea is lightly sweet with a fragrant finish. Oolong combines the delicacy of a green tea with the strength of a black tea.------ The Salt Spring Tea Co. was founded 11 years ago on Salt Spring Island, in the wild and scenic beauty of Western Canada. It was the dream of three women, an artist, a student and a local artisan, to capture the unspoiled nature of British Columbia in their products. While no longer located on Salt Spring Island, the Salt Spring Tea Co. remains committed to their vision: we use only the freshest ingredients and insist on all natural products. Our fruit blend teas contain real fruit and we use no flavoring oils to ensure you get a rich, full-flavored cup of tea without compromise! Most of our teas come to you in individually hand-painted bags and wooden keepsake boxes that make great gifts.
