- Grown at an altitude of 1100 meters in Central Taiwan, Strong Fire Oolong is made from the Tieguanyin tea plant varietal.
- In making Strong Fire, only the mature, hardy leaves are plucked. They are then withered in the sun for a few hours to reduce moisture
- Full-bodied texture, toasty aroma, and a bittersweet chocolate flavor.
- ESTABLISHED 1997 Like Tao, the art of tea is universal. We began our work with tea with the intent to be a connecting thread for tea culture.
- MORE THAN FAIR TRADE We believe in being socially conscious with all of our teas. We were among the first group of tea companies to join the Fair Trade movement in the United States.
From the manufacturer
PURE LEAF ARTISTRY
At The Tao of Tea, we offer a wide variety of specialty teas as well as herbs and blends. Similar to grapes, tea plants (camellia sinensis) have many different cultivars, regions, processing methods, and seasons. Good tea tends to sell out very quickly and is seldom made in large quantities. Therefore, each season we work to secure exceptional-tasting leaf. We pledge to bring you teas that have great flavor, artistry and soul, and to help educate about tea origins, culture, processing and more.
JOURNEY RELATIONSHIPS
All of our products are a result of establishing relationships with tea people. Most of our teas originate in Asia and travel to other parts of the world as a result of our efforts. Along the way, there is a cultural exchange that takes place. The art of tea, at its highest level, involves deep appreciation for these connections. We pledge to savor our relationships as much as we do the tea itself.
