This tasty 2019 oolong comes from the rural district of Pinglin in New Taipei region, Northern Taiwan. The tea garden sits at an elevation of between 400—800m above sea level.
The large, twisted green leaves are lightly oxidised at around 35% and infuse into an amber-coloured tea with a soft passionfruit and butterscotch aroma. Its slightly acidic, passionfruit and citrus notes are nicely balanced by hints of flowers and cream and its velvety-smooth mouthfeel.
2019 harvest.
Preparation: Steep for 3 minutes at 85°. Two - three infusions.
