Sometimes when you bump into a great tea, you just have to get it. This is how we secured this delicious Wu She region tea. Not too famous among the Taiwanese Oolong world, but definitely a great tea producing area for its proper elevation and environment. This particular tea was carefully processed by some of the most experienced tea masters in Taiwan.
The material of it was superior as well thanks to the “beheaded” (剉頭) tea tree. By beheading the main branch of the tea plants, the nutrition will be more focused on the rest of the leaves which will deliver a very powerful sweetness in the final production. The downside is that the quantity will be decreased and hence raises the price of the tea, but the result is just perfect. Combined with this year’s drought, this Wu She should wholeheartedly surprise and satisfy any tea lover.
