Conventional Alishan Milk Oolong

Alishan is full of mediocre tea but this is one of the better conventional ones we tried. Roasted slightly to make it smoother, full of the buttery character that the local market demands, this tea is not bad. It has been tested for agrochemicals and falls in the ‘safe’ level. Bought in one of the most ‘famous’ tea stores on the mountain it is a great example of a standard Alishan Milk Oolong. We didn't buy very much so if you are interested in getting an idea of what 'conventional' means for us don't wait too long!
