Tea Review 141 - Naivetea Oolong (x2)



Li Shan
Wen Shan Bao Zhong

Naivetea

Here are another pair of oolong teas from Naivetea. I've reviewed several other varieties from these oolong specialists so far and I have yet to run across a dud. Of this pair of light oolongs, I liked Li Shan the best, but there was certainly nothing wrong with the Wen Shan Bao Zhong.
