  1. This tea is selected by Norman Shu from Master Wang's collection...a 2001 baked oolong which starts with classic Tung Ting made of Chinsing Oolong in Luu, Nantou. The package is specially designed for a Birthday occasion as a party favor ...package and label by Josephine Pan. We have really good response on the smoothy, silky finish of this baked oolong.
