High mountain oolong from Alishan with unique taste profile thanks to very gentle charcoal roasting.

The tea was roasted twice on light fire – each round lasted around 4 hours. So the tea is roasted and still very fresh and vivid.

Liquor is sweet, oily and creamy. Taste is subtle but aroma is very strong.

Here you can find distinct notes of honey, nuts, butter cookies and almonds mixed with grassy juiciness and notes of dried strawberries or raspberries.

Aftertaste is long and sweet.

Bitterness is balanced but little bit more stronger comparing to winter versions of the same tea we had before.

Mr. Ye- the owner of the garden don’t use any herbicides and pesticides so the tea grows naturally.

High mountain oolong finished by skillful charcoal roasting.

    What magic is this? I’m quite familar with lishan and alishan oolong but light roast gaoshan are my jam. Dark roast is good for storage but imho it needs age before drinking. This is lovely!! It is buttery, sugary, nutty, milky and has a silky mouthfeel. I noticed something interesting which is the width of taste when swallowing this tea. It glides down your throat and when you swallow you can taste and feel it everywhere! This is indicative of a very good quality tea.
