Description: You can't buy happiness, but you can buy the Oolong Royal Empress tea, and that's the same thing. This tea is a picture-perfect Oolong suited for wealth, glamour, power! Sleek with hints of flowery notes—just like royalty. Like Empresses and royal living, this stunning Ti Kuan Yin is complex and intriguing. It's only fit for queens (and kings) that can handle its sweet complications.
The story of Empress Chen Jinfeng (893-935), the third wife of Wang Janjun, ruler of the state of Min during the Chinese Five Dynasties & Ten Kingdoms period, evidences the complicated lives of the royals. She lived as a concubine among commoners while struggling to survive her fathers' assassination. After becoming an empress, she too was assassinated in a gruesome manner.
Just as complicated as Empress Jinfeng's story is, the Oolong Royal Empress tea suffers a similar fate in its processing. It goes through withering under the intense sun and, after that, oxidation, curling, and twisting. But unlike the Empress, this story ends well— in your teacups, as you savor its sweet, delicate taste majestically like royalty.
