Alishan Oolong 2022 Taiwan - 50g
Tea and more Grand Cru Selection
by Mountain Stream Teas (Matt Hopkins), Taiwan
Grown at 1400m above sea level at a very new tea-growing area called Nanhu Dashan in North Central Taiwan, this tea is a wonderful example of at granite terroir. The minerality of the brew is fun. Extremely rare in a Taiwanese tea.
The experience of this tea is one of a full, soft vegetal upfront, with a lingering sweet orange stone fruit finish.
Around the mid mouth, the flavor changes to a strong floral/stone fruit-like sweetness that lingers in the aftertaste for a very, very long time.
It is a complex, and gorgeous, aftertaste that lasts through many steeps.
Masterfully crafted by a gifted Tea Master, we are proud to support people that make teas such as this one.
This one very special oolong ... very limited edition !
