This high-mountain oolong has the classic vegetal and grassy freshness, with floral notes of jasmine. The cultivar and terroir yield it a fine, buttery mouthfeel and the stamina for many steeps. A true Taiwanese classic. This tea is a mood-lifter like high-grade matcha.
High-mountain oolongs are one of Taiwan's specialties. Grown at high altitudes and colder temperatures, these teas contain more sweet compounds like theanine and have a reduced amount of bitter and astringent compounds.
