Ai Jiao Oolong (aka Dwarf Oolong) is a special varietal called C.sinensis cv.Aijiao-wulong that originates in Dongfeng village (Jian'Ou Township) just to the south of Wu Yi Shan and which is also the home of "Qing Xin Oolong". Our Ai Jiao Oolong is first flush of spring pick, grown from 40-60 year old bushes growing in Zhu Ke mountain area to the west of Wu Yi Shan township.

The taste is mild and mineral with a nice, thick body and sweet aftertaste. There is a dried fruit sweetness that is hard to place exactly which makes this a totally fresh and unique tea to enjoy and compare with the more classic Wu Yi varietals.

Lovely daily roast for cold days

"super aromatic (sweet, minerally) sweet (dried apricot that's got a little funk?) & roasty (maybe sweet tobacco) cool minty hui gan. A pleasure"

"very good tea, dense and invigorating. I ordered more."

A magical aftertaste

"They don't look like anything and at the same moment they have a very familiar earthy taste, with the aroma of flowers, honey and the taste of sweets"

— Dmitriy P. (5/5)

Beautiful

"I'm becoming more in love with Oolongs. I admit this is difficult to pin down, as someone else said it's almost like cookies! Hints of chocolate, cinnamon, and something almost pastry like. A unique bouquet and definitely worth trying. Just be careful of overbrewing as you can get a certain "sour" note I noticed."

— Abbas A. (5/5)

Cookies!

"As someone whose skill in writing reviews is woefully lacking, all I can say about this tea is that it's freakin' delicious. Granted, taste and perception are both rather subjective, but to my unsophisticated palate, this oolong tastes like Nutter Butter cookies, and that, my tea-drinking friends, is a massive win. If my bladder and kidneys could handle the stress, I would happily drink this tea 24/7. I find myself preferring the Ai Jiao over more expensive rock teas, as well, and that counts as another massive win. Do yourself a favor and give this one a try. Come on, just try some. You know you want to."

— Sean F. (5/5)
