Unroasted, high-mountain oolong from an organic, almost wild garden located on the slopes of Shan Lin Xi.

Mr. Luo produced it using the rare Qin Yu cultivar, registered with number 22 by the Taiwanese Tea Research Institute.

This variety is the result of a crossbreeding of Qing Xin and Jin Xuan!

The processing method is also unusual, as the level of oxidation is significantly higher than typical “high mountain oolong.”

This tea is calm and quiet, yet captivating from the first taste.

The infusion’s textire is velvety and smooth. The flavor and aroma are dominated by notes of white flowers (magnolia, lilly of the valley), honey, and spring meadow.

There’s no bitterness. Drinking this tea for the first time with my friend Alex, we both said it tastes like the best, fresh mountain water straight from a stream.

It brings relief and brightens the day.

Originally packaged in 75g vacuum packaging. Smaller weights are shipped in our zip-lock packaging.

Description

Origin: organic garden, Shan Lin Xi, Nantou county, Taiwan,

Harvest: 9.05.2025

Cultivar/Tree Variety:  Qin Yu TTES #22 – crossbreed of Qing Xin and Jin Xuan!

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 40-50 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.
