Only \u003cstrong\u003e2% of tea is turned into oolong\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the Republic of \u003cstrong\u003eGeorgia accounts for roughly 0.02% of global tea production\u003c\/strong\u003e - in a sense this is like a \"holy grail\" for oolong tea aficionados.

Our Georgian \"Flower Garden\" comes from the cool, humid hills of western Georgia, the \u003cstrong\u003emost northern tea-growing region on earth\u003c\/strong\u003e, and is made from the Kolkhida cultivar. Two different countries, two different cultivars, and two very different terroirs, yet both are fresh, crisp, easy-drinking oolongs that make a great introduction to the category. Brewing them one after the other is an easy way to taste how cultivar and place shape an oolong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes from Staff:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea makes a lovely impression on people who are not as familiar with oolong. It has such a \u003cstrong\u003egentle but memorable taste profile,\u003c\/strong\u003e and it leaves your palate with a gentle finish that makes you just want more! We recommend to try sampling this tea alongside our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/oldmountaintea.com\/products\/organic-miyazaki-oolong\"\u003eJapanese Miyazaki Oolong\u003c\/a\u003e which shares similarities. The Georgian Tea is more floral, and the Japanese more fruity with a buttermilk note, and strong mineral hints - at least to us.
