Everlasting is a greenish Oolong that has just arrived. It was plucked (picked) on March 7th this year and processed that evening. It is lightly oxidized and tightly rolled in wrapped cloth for about 40 times to get the tiny balls. I was fortunate to be able to buy 10 lbs from a friend, who is known in the Industry, as the Tea Ambassador for Taiwan. Probably the best oolong I have tasted with a floral lingering sweet taste. Great as an intro into the delicious world of oolongs.

English Tealeaves sells over 125 high quality teas that are "cherry picked" from over 15 suppliers who specialize in specific types and countries. This gives us the flexibility to find the best of the best. We also blend around 8 teas ourselves that can't be obtained to our standards. For example our #1 selling tea, English Breakfast is our own blend that we created in 2002.
Our Cafe customers give feedback and we discontinue the ones that get poor ratings. We also look to improve our teas and will replace a standard tea, like say Mango, with a higher quality blend from another supplier.
The teas are selected after evaluation in these seven areas and then the scores are weighted to decide if they qualify for inclusion in our range:
• Dry leaves appearance
• Dry aroma
• Brewed Infusion Color
• Aroma brewed
• Hot taste
• Iced taste
• After taste
