Alpine Fall Honey
The third 2025 addition to our new series of 'Alpine' teas from the same organic garden on Chi Lai Shan, this one is its Fall Pick! A hot and wet 2025 summer growing season has imbued a smooth warm vegetal, rich wild honey and yellow stone fruit to this great example of a Fall Picked Oolong. Blessed with the same Green Leaf Hopper bug bites as the Alpine Honey Red picked earlier in the season, this Fall season tea stands out with its complex honeyed fruit notes and warm weather feel.
We have enjoyed the teas from this garden and we hope you do as well. We look forward to what our friend has in store for us this Winter Season!
