Almost 50 years of natural storage in Tainan, old capital of Taiwan.

Very smooth and delicate oolong but with strong aged character and intriguing, citrus-like sourness.

Taste profile: fresh celery, incenses, wood, herbs, lemon, star fruit.

It’s not typical “long distance runner” oolong.  When preparing tea according to our suggestions, you can make 5-6 full infusions.
