Oolong tea

This is our first ever Taiwanese oolong, by the wonderful Chang Family located in Chi Lai Mountain. Tea leaves grown at a higher elevation tend to grow at a slower rate, concentrating all of their nutrients. This means the tea will be picked later in comparison to lower elevation teas, and will also have a much lighter, more elegant flavour profile. when hot water hits this tea, you can smell a nice subtle toastiness, like cereal grain, and a nice hint of sweetness, like honey and cooked peaches. Its pale liquor yields a smooth, buttery and mellow cup.
