HOW IT'S MADE
Hand-plucked, sun-withered, charcoal baked

Flaming Root N°3 is a charcoal-toasted oolong made just like in the old times. After the freshly hand-plucked tealeaves are withered under the sun for some short hours, they are toasted over Longan charcoal several times in order to perfect the distinctive warm, brown sugar aroma. It is a wonderful tea to accompany an afternoon teatime with delicious cakes. The special smoky notes might just remind you of a nostalgic moment in a wooden chalet in the mountains.

This oolong tea is made in the same way as hundreds of years ago. After the sun wilting, tossing and rolling process by hand, teas are roasted over a Binchotan style charcoal for several times, till the tea reaches a perfect caramel and chocolate like aroma.
