OOLONG TEA: Bagua Shan Heavy Roast, Taiwan
Bagua Shan Siji Chun ~ heavy roast
Oolong tea, Taiwan
Flavour: roasty, warm spice & nut
This is the Wang Family’s heavily roasted version of their 2025 Spring harvest Bagua Shan Siji Chun oolong. After oxidation, compression and rolling, the leaves are heavily roasted, a process that transforms their colour and flavour and reduces caffeine.
Heavy roasty notes dominate the dry-style infusion alongside hints of burnt toffee, baked almonds and nutmeg.
The Wang Family has been involved in Taiwanese tea for many generations. The company is now run by brother and sister duo Joshua and Ivy Wang, who have a passion for sustainable and environmentally friendly practices and sharing the best tea that Taiwan has to offer.

If you infuse your leaves at least twice, your pouch will give you the following cups of tea (or more if you infuse your leaves more times):
