Nanhu Mountain Spring Oolong

The sister tea to the famous Nanhu Mountain Eastern Beauty, this tea is made from the same material as that tea, but classically formed into a high mountain oolong. And it is one special oolong! It is also produced in a small batch way. We only have a limited amount on offer.

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 a rare granite terroir. The minerality of the brew is dramatic and fun. This type of mouthfeel is 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.

Delicious!

This is a very nice, smooth oolong. Slightly floral and vegetal. It’s balanced and delicious. Second steeping was the most floral for me and the third steeping had me wanting to wring every drop from the leaves.
