“6 months.It didn’t take me so long to buy this one… I only managed to resist 6 months before entering Mariage Frères and ask for 50 g of Sun Moon Lake at the desk. I loved all the Sun Moon Lake...” Read full tasting note

Description

The lake of the Sun and the Moon, in Nantou County in central Formosa, is a top destination for young newlyweds, lured by its entrancing, emerald beauty. The surrounding forests also harbour several small tea estates where an exceptional black tea is cultivated.
Leaves: wide, stretched and slightly twisted
Nose: forthright, with chocolate undertones
Liquor: amber-red liquor with ample body, profuse and velvety, with bold candied aromas of malt, cacao, and brown sugar crowned by a rich tone of almond during a remarkable finish. A strong yet finessed harvest.
