Fresh spring oolong from Shan Lin Xi!

First gardens there were made not more than 30-40 years ago. It’s important fact to understand the terroir because Shan Lin Xi is literally wild area. Nowadays you can only see there only tea gardens and different kinds of natural forests.

This fresh tea does not need to be described. Clean, fresh and creamy.

Tasting notes: white flowers, fresh grass, mountain air, honeydew. Thick and creamy texture. Long lasting aftertaste. Well balances bitterness and very low astringency.

Good example of well made high mountain oolong.

Highly recommended.

Description

Origin:  ca. 1300 meters above sea level, Shan Lin Xi, Nantou county, Taiwan,

Harvest: Spring 2024

Cultivar/Tree Variety:  Qing Xin

Temperature of water and amount of leaves: 100 C 5-7g/100ml.

Suggested brewing method: Yixing clay teapot or gaiwan of low capacity. First, you should pre-heat empty teapot/gaiwan and tea cups with boiling water. When the teapot is warmed, then you put the tea leaves in. After smelling hot and dry leaves in the pot, gently pour the boiling water to the pot.  First infusion should be very short- not more than 40 second. Second infusion should be little bit shorter than first one cause the leaves are more open then. We suggest to increase brewing time for 5-10 seconds in third and each next brewing.
