2013 Taiwan Aged Lishan Oolong | Tai Wan Li Shan Qing Xin Wu Long - Option: 500 g

This expertly aged high mountain Oolong comes from the Lishan Village located in the Taiwan's Central Mountain Range. The year of 2013 delivered what all Lishan enthusiasts expected: a true, authentic representative of this elusive and intriguing terroir. Owing to the particular climate and terroir, this tea is rich in catechin which reduced the bitter and harsh elements in the liquor. The higher theanine and soluble nitrogen content contributes in heightening the compelling exotic sweetness of this tea. It is truly a unique tea coming from a uniquely rich soil and growing in the best natural conditions one can find. With the more favourable growing conditions of Spring 2013, it’s a must try for all oolong enthusiast. From the very clear and bright, golden yellow liquor will emanate an intricately flowery fragrance that is both sweet and exotic. You will also be rewarded with cup after cup of full bodied, mellow hints of exotic fruits (high mountain pears are grown amongst the rows of tea) with heady lilac notes. This tea comes from the highest section of the garden at the altitude of approx. 1700 m. More
