Kangaita Oolong Tea – A Journey of Flavor and Craft
From the high slopes of Mount Kenya, where the clouds kiss fertile red soil, comes a tea unlike any other. During our visit to the Kangaita Tea Factory, we walked among the farmers, listened to their stories, and stood in awe of the artistry that goes into every leaf. It was here, after tasting the liquor, that we chose this remarkable Oolong Tea to share with you.
The Craft of Oolong
Neither black nor green, Oolong rests beautifully in between. At Kangaita, skilled hands carefully wither, roll, and partially oxidize the leaves, bringing forth a tea that balances the floral freshness of green with the smooth depth of black. Each step is done with patience, guided by generations who know that tea is not rushed—it is coaxed gently into being.
The Taste Experience
In the cup, Kangaita Oolong shines with a golden-amber liquor. The first sip opens with notes of wild orchids and honey, followed by hints of stone fruit and warm earth. The body is smooth and layered, offering a journey with each infusion. It is a tea meant to be savored slowly, reminding you of the mountain air, the steady rhythm of plucking, and the harmony of nature.
A Tea with a Story
Choosing this Oolong was more than a tasting—it was a meeting of hearts. The farmers spoke of pride and perseverance, of caring for the land and nurturing each bush. By bringing Kangaita Oolong to Desert Sage, we honor their craft and invite you to join in this story.
Kangaita Oolong Tea is our hand-selected treasure—a cup filled with warmth, elegance, and the soulful touch of Kenya.
