Bitaco Tea Estate Organic Colombia Wulong Tea

Bitaco Tea Estate Organic Wulong is a beautiful open-leaf style organic semi-oxidized tea from the South American country of Colombia. Bitaco is a small organic estate that was established in the early 1960’s to produce mainly CTC tea. It is located in the Andes Mountains at an altitude above 6,000 feet and is situated next to a protected rain forest with a high level of rainfall and biodiversity. The tea plants thrive in the consistent tropical rainforest climate and mineral rich, volcanic soils. In addition to producing high quality, unique teas, the garden focuses on sustainable farming techniques and social accountability, along with  fostering community through its foundation that provides education for local children and infrastructure improvements. All of their teas are smooth and mellow with a lovely sweetness and lack any astringency.

Large, higher-oxidized leaves yield a smooth and balanced, medium-bodied infusion that is sweet, deep and rich with notes of molasses and roasted stone fruit. There is a lovely sweetness that lingers on the palate.
