Organic Alishan Oolong
There is a reason that Alishan Oolong is famous and this tea is one of the best expressions of 'Alishan' 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. Supporting friends who do it is one of the reasons why we started this company to begin with!
This Spring 2023 pick had great growing conditions and this tea has all the taste characteristics that fans of this garden love. Sweet, smooth, creamy and that deep floral aftertaste that lasts forever. If you are a fan of this garden or area we are sure you will enjoy the 2023 pick!
