2003 Reserve Four Season Oolong
Our aged oolong is sourced from the Dong Ding tea growing region of Nantou County in Taiwan and was harvested in the spring of 2003. The varietal is Si Ji Chuan also known as Four Season. Our aged oolong was crafted by blend master Chen Pei Wen and is re-roasted every 2-3 years to minimize moisture content. 2003 Reserve Four Season Oolong is a rich full-bodied silky tea. The charcoal-colored leaves of this smooth oolong produce notes of honey suckle, bark, and grass and has a natural sweetness with no astringency present. This tea is also low in caffeine.
Gui Fei Oolong
Our Gui Fei Oolong was sourced from Lugu
Township in Nantou County, Taiwan and is a particularly unique tea.
Green leafhoppers are allowed to bite the tea leaves which causes the
leaves to begin the healing process which creates the honey notes in
this tea and also begins the oxidation process. This tea utilized
traditional Dong Ding processing techniques. Gui Fei Oolong has a
natural sweetness to it and produces no astringency. Notes of honey,
lightly burned toast, raw almonds and apples can be detected.
Mi Xian Black
Our Mi Xian Black tea is sourced from Ali Shan region in
Taiwan. This exquisite premium grade tea utilizes the Chin Xin varietal
and is pesticide free. Mi Xian Black is a relatively new style of
black tea and is very rare. Similar to our Gui Fei Oolong, leafhoppers
are allowed to bite the leaves in order initiate the plant’s healing
process which produces a honey-like aroma. Juicy peach and honey notes
mingle and linger. Some lychee and mild citrus notes can also be
detected. This smooth and mellow tea is sweet with a creamy mouth-feel.
Premium Taiwanese Assam
Our Premium Taiwanese Assam is sourced from Yuchih
Township in Nantou County, Taiwan. Assam
bushes were brought to Taiwan in the early twentieth century but have since
been refined by the Taiwan Research and Extension Station. The long dark chocolate colored leaves
produce a sweet fruity aroma. This malty
tea has rich chocolate notes with notes of cinnamon, clove, and raisins.
