From Spirit Tea

In Taiwan, gaoshancha (lit. “High Mountain Tea”) is the designation given to oolong cultivated at a kilometer above sea level or more. Typically, these are semi-baked, rolled on the stem and affixed with the title of the mountain of its provenance. This Iron Goddess comes from the gardens above Dali, Yunnan, over two kilometers above sea level. At this elevation, the plants metabolism slows, concentrating new growth with nutrients, and producing a smooth, complex cup. The ‘Iron Goddess of Mercy’ cultivar has traveled from its birthplace in Anxi, China to Taiwan and, now, with master and production lead, Ah Feng, back again to China. The results are remarkable. Notes of white butter, gardenia, toasted chestnuts.

I’ve had an unopened package of this for nearly a year. It’s softened some of the fruitier edges unfortunately, but it’s still excellent, floral, nutty, and buttery. I wish Spirit still carried this one and the bug bitten Dayuling. Those were steals.
