Organic Alishan Oolong
Spring Pick 2020
**This tea recently won an award for being one of the best organic teas in Taiwan! We could double the price for it, but we are not that kind of tea company. We only have it in limited amounts so if you want to try an award-winning tea this is a good chance!**
There is a reason that Alishan Oolong is famous and this tea is the best expression of it that we have ever found. Bright, floral, sweet, oceanic, and all the other descriptors used for Alishan Oolong can be found within these tightly rolled balls of leaf. Grown on the only organic farm in the Alishan area proper(that we know of), we are proud to stock this tea. It takes guts to grow organically in a place where even conventionally grown tea can be sold with an automatic 50% premium no matter the quality.
The Spring 2020 pick had great growing conditions and this tea has all the taste characteristics that fans of this garden love. Sweet, smooth, creamy and with that floral aftertaste that lasts forever. This is much softer and more accessible than last winter's pick which was a little strong in the upfront. If you are a fan of this garden we are sure you will enjoy it!
