About this Product
Origin: Li Shan, Taichung City, Taiwan
Cultivar: Qingxin
Elevation: 2200m
Harvest: October 21, 2022
The mountainous regions of Central Taiwan produce some of the most exquisite oolong teas in the world. These teas are often called “Gao Shan Cha” (High Mountain Tea) because the tea gardens are situated in very high altitudes compared to all other oolong tea-growing regions.
The mists in the high mountains shroud the tea bushes during the peak harvesting season, facilitating the gradual growth of new tea buds and concentrating the amino acids and aromatic compounds. The shade-grown tea has fewer sharp tannins and a smoother, sweet flavor.
The thick mists and clouds in the high mountain regions provide a natural shading effect for the oolong tea gardens which enhances the smoothness and richness of tea. At 2200 meters above sea level, this batch from Li Shan (“Pear Mountain”) was harvested at one of the highest-elevation oolong tea gardens on the planet.
This winter crop batch from Li Shan has deep fermentation and rich fruity flavors with lush aromas of tropical flowers.
Add 7g to a Gaiwan or Gongfu Teapot (per 150ml).
Use 200°F water.
Don’t rinse this tea.
Infuse the first brew for 45 seconds - 1 minute.
Infuse 2nd brew for 30 seconds.
Repeat several times at 45 seconds, until the flavor and aroma of the tea dissipates. As the leaves expand and unfurl, the brewing time may decrease at the peak of the session while the final infusions can be 2-3 minutes.

Decent
Even following the brewing instructions, this tea has more tannic and vegetal flavor than most shade-grown
...
teas. It's still a very good oolong, but it isn't as smooth as I expected. You'll like it much more if you love British and American style oolongs.
