An interesting and usual tea produced late in 2017 by a small progressive tea maker in the LuShan region of central Taiwan and grown at a height of 1400m.
Dry the tea reminds one of a deeper "Oriental Beauty", or Bai Hao oolong, in shape and colour; the "strip" style processing of the leaf has an abundance of white tipped buds among the darker leaf.
The roasting was generous but has mellowed over a few years to remain nicely balanced with the rich fruitiness of the raw material and follows through into the satisfying aftertaste.
The liquor is a beautiful clear amber that delights and satisfies.
