Spring Jade Light Charcoal Roast

A fun twist on the Spring Oolong genre, this typical high mountain oolong has been lightly charcoal roasted to bring out some unique flavors and mouth feel. The upfront low charcoal roast notes move through a smooth and slick mid-mouth to patiently develop into a lingering aftertaste that is somewhere between High Mountain and Dong Ding Oolongs with complex sweet grass, red fruit and minerality. Remember to take time between sips with this one as there is a lot of flavor development in the aftertaste. Each steep is different and the flavor gets softer, rounder and more complex as you move through the session!

**This tea is unique take on the classic high mountain oolong genre and isn't a tea for most beginners. If you are just getting into high quality Taiwanese teas it is best to start with the classic Pear Mountain, Chi Lai or Alishan high mountain oolongs to get a great understanding of the genres.
