Description

From the famous Dong Ding tea growing region of Nantou county, this selection was harvested at about 800 meters and has undergone a longer oxidation period and slow roasting process at high temperatures. The result is an absolutely mouth-watering tea that exudes a delicious nutty, caramel flavor that is both sweet and savory. It is exceptionally smooth and slightly fruity, with notes of barley, sweet caramel, and a peaceful “woodsy” aftertaste. This tea is not astringent, and slides gently down the throat with each sip.

Chinese Name: 中烘焙凍頂烏龍茶

Origin/ Harvest: Lugu, Nantou County, Taiwan 台灣南投縣鹿谷鄉 / Spring 2014
