Description

We came upon this tea with total surprise while having another tea in mind. From a secret location south of Sun Moon Lake, this transitional organic jade oolong tea (will take another year for it to be fully organic) really surprised us as one of the most outstanding teas this winter.

The very first thing you would notice from this tea is its honey-like aroma, or more specifically, a “floral nectar” aroma. The aroma is quite special to even an experienced tea drinker, as our old dog would point out later on in its review. Besides the unique aroma, the tea express a very clean character from start to end, and therefore we decided to give it a special name – “Crystal”, for its “crystal clear” character.

2017 / 1 / 6 Update: The landlord of this tea plantation had decided to stop the cultivation. This is the final season for this tea to be ever produced anymore.
