Harvested in summer, this Japanese oolong exudes a refreshing earthy scent and clean, muscatel tasting notes, reminiscent of bug-bitten teas from Taiwan. Although the Moriuchi family has been known primarily for their green tea production for almost 300 years, they have also manufactured oxidized teas—namely black and oolong—since 1999.
