This organic ‘Shui Xian’, though now happily nested in the mountains of Nantou, was originally cut from mainland stock and brought to Taiwan by the Chang family. The legacy of this variety grows richer by the day. Mr. Chang is acutely aware of contemporary challenges to tea production: picker shortages, climate change, and unstable demand. Accordingly, he waits until picking is complete on his half hectare garden, before slating a harvest to its respective processing styles—matching weather, quality, and yield to the style best suited. Here, only tender leaves are harvested and deftly rolled into a tight ball. Superbly toasty sweetness ensconces gentle fruit and herbal complexity.

What happened to the picture for this one? Anyway, used it to test new teaware from Spirit Tea that I got for xmas. I’ll do a full review for that tumbler since it’s ceramic and not as overpiced as some others. I had some trouble with my green oolongs in it oddly enough since they’ve usually more forgiving grandpa style. My Dayuling was too green and flat in it, so since it was a Spirit Tea product that they picked from a farmer, I tried it in the tumbler. It worked better. More evolution of from floral, sweet green and grass notes, and straight into something bordering between lemon, mango, and aprioct. Nice change of pace considering I’ve ignored it for too long. It’s been too grassy or sour gong fu lately in warmer weather, so somehow, it’s doing better in the colder weather. I’m happy to see I’ll be able to finish it off.
If somebody links a photo from a sellers website and the link is changed or removed from there, it breaks the link to Steepster. I tend to save and upload photos for this reason.
I’ve been noticing a lot of broken photos lately.
