Da Yu Ling is the highest grade of Taiwanese oolongs. A number of factors go into lending this tea its many fine qualities.
Da Yu Ling grows at 7,500 feet above sea level. At this elevation, there is a big difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures, as well as a constant dense fog. The temperature gradients and thick fog cover give the leaves of Da Yu Ling a thorough workout, so it’s in the best possible shape by the time it reaches your teapot.
Yezi’s Da Yu Ling loose-leaf tea is brought to you by tea farmer Gao Xiu Chen and has the light and smooth finish characteristic of many Taiwanese oolongs. This beautiful yellow tea, with a buttery aroma, is also distinguished by a sweet flavor topped off with floral and tangerine scents.
