We're so happy to finally be able to support this lovely initiative and offer delicious, organic tea grown nearby in Oporto at Cha Camelia. This is an amazing opportunity to try well-made, locally produced tea made with love. Nina and Dirk first plantes Japanese tea seeds in 2012 and the fruit of their work is now really beginning to show.
Long Cha is Cha Camelia's first Oolong. It is a very aromatic, sweet and creamy, lightly oxidyzed oolong inspired by taiwanese Baozhong tea, which is actually very close to green tea as it is the least oxidyzed of all oolongs and has a very loosly rolled leaf.
