Refined Teas for a Sophisticated Palette

For a strong tea, consider Black Dragon Pearl tea, a rare hand-rolled black tea from Yunnan province in China. It has a very strong, yet smooth, malty flavor characteristic of black teas.  Monkey picked oolong tea, also known as Ti Kuan Yin, is the highest quality oolong tea made from the youngest tea leaves.  Both of these special teas can be infused multiple times, making them a great value.
