Three Daughters Tea

The three daughter’s oolong varietals are the national pride of Taiwan. They have been developed by local tea farmers from tea plants brought from China. They are all fruity and flowery however each of them has its own unique character. We recommend this tea even for daily consumption - its gentle taste brings even a hard workday much brighter.
