Organic Alishan Oolong
Spring and Winter Pick 2021
**At the recent Tea Expo in Taipei we were able to get the 2021 Winter version of this tea at a discount and decided to pass that discount on to you!**
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 Winter 2021 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. If you are a fan of this garden we are sure you will enjoy it!
**If you enjoy this tea it might be worth it to check out the Alishan Red Oolong that was made this late-spring from the same garden.
