Assam smoked oolong is produced using the semi-oxidised oolong process and is smoked with an oak-like wood, unlike the pinewood used for Chinese lapsang souchongs. Its aroma is therefore unique. In the cup it is woody and fruity with a well-balanced smokiness. Use one teaspoon per cup and infuse for three minutes. Drink without milk.
