“A very pleasant tea that delivers what I would like, but doesn’t exceed expectations. Its mouthfeel is thick and watery. The sweet aroma takes me to a garden full of fresh vegetables and flowers....” Read full tasting note
Origin: above 1800 meters above sea level, Long Feng Xia Shan Lin Xi, Nantou county, Taiwan,
Harvest: Winter 2023
Cultivar/Tree Variety: Qing Xin
Long Fen Xia is considered as the highest part of Shan Lin Xi Mountain. It’s not very old tea production area. First gardens there were made not more than 30-40 years ago. It’s important fact to understand the terroir because Shan Lin Xi is literally wild area. Nowadays you can only see there only tea gardens and different kinds of natural forests.
We visited Long Feng Xia in 2023. It was real fun to see all the steps of producing high mountain oolong – from hand picking, through withering (outdoor and indoor), oxidation, rolling and drying – last two steps are repeated several times until good effect is achieved.
This fresh tea does not need to be described. Incredibly clean, fresh and juicy.
Tasting notes: white flowers, fresh grass, mountain air, honeydew. Thick and creamy texture. Long lasting aftertaste. Well balances bitterness and low astringency.
Perfect example of well made oolong from the garden maintained with care and respect for nature.
