Where the Diamond Oolong is light and round, the Purple Grape is full-bodied and indulgent. The anaerobic process pulls out a deep, grape-forward sweetness that coats the palate. Rich but not heavy — the GABA character keeps it smooth and grounding. A tea that holds attention without demanding it.

Brewing
Best prepared gongfu style — small vessel, multiple short infusions. Each steep reveals something different. Western-style brewing works equally well; start with 85–90°C and adjust to taste.
Reviews
The body on this tea is remarkable. It feels almost creamy. I serve this to guests and everyone is impressed.
Deep, grape-like sweetness that coats the palate. This is unlike any oolong I have had before. Rich but never heavy. Absolutely incredible.
