While many regard China as the premier supplier to the world for premium Oolongs, dedicated tea aficionados have known that the Nandi region of Kenya has been producing one of the most amazing sought-after Oolongs. It's lush red highland soil, plentiful rains and inviting sun, provide the ideal growing conditions for teas to flush year round, propelling Kenya to become a major player in the tea business, ranking it 3rd after China and India. This dramatic Oolong is rarely exported and is highly regarded and prized for its smooth body and classical roasted floral finish. The leaves can also be re-infused as many as seven times after you have finished enjoying the first cup with minimal reduction in flavor.
