Safari Oolong drinks like a finely aged white Rhône wine—think Viognier or Marsanne-Roussanne blends. Its dried apricot note brings a soft, sun-warmed fruitiness, while honeysuckle adds a floral lift that lingers delicately. The tea’s clean minerality mirrors the stony, almost chalk-like quality found in wines from limestone terroirs. A subtle hazelnut finish rounds it out with a toasty richness, offering a complexity and elegance that will feel familiar to lovers of expressive, old-world whites.
