Lucky strike: This varietal is descended from a single dancong oolong tree that was struck by lightning during a storm on Phoenix Mountain. Though most of the tree was zapped, the tea grower rescued enough of it to graft onto another tree and bring it back to life. It’s said this electrifying encounter forever changed the varietal’s flavor (for the better). Layered notes of sweetness, spice, and umami? We’d call that a recharging brew.

Feels like: How Kramer’s hair looks. BOLD. DIFFERENT. A LITTLE SAVORY? Yowza!

Yummy!

Held a tea party with friends and it was so cute and wonderful to try all the teas, which helpfully have the notes on the tins. We were all charmed by the artwork! I would order again as a gift, and probably not for myself as I now have plenty of tea. It is also not the cheapest tea out there.

Couldn't love it more

I love the lightning strike oolong--so delicious! I also couldn't love the mini tea break tins more. I am a huge fan of outdoor tea picnics and this is the BEST for popping in a backpack along with a thermos and travel tea set. You'll find me in the park, sipping away! :)
