This high mountain oolong is from the highest part of Wu She area which is located at 1700 meters above sea level, and was picked and processed during the most perfect weather conditions, which proved tricky due to the Jeckyl and Hyde weather conditions that prevail in Wu She’s high mountain environment. The combination of human skills and nature’s fleeting benevolence makes this a beautiful and solid representation for winter high mountain oolong.
Roasted tea provides a special nuance and is especially enjoyable in the cold winter months. As such, we decided to have our Wu She roasted under the hand of a master. The masterful roasting did not only transform this tea into an almost “Dong Ding” like character, but further brought out the “winter rhythm” character we discussed in the jade oolong version. Not only it is surprisingly similar to a Competition Grade Dong Ding both in aroma and body, but also has more depth than one. If you are looking for a tea to warm you up in the year of 2016 no matter where you are in the globe, this Wu She Light Roast will certainly please you.
