From Tea Mountain

An excellent and exceptional tea from Mr. Wu’s natural gardens in the alpine environment of the Ching Jing mountain area, where the Tie Guan Yin cultivar is grown in a tiny garden. In this environment and under strict and natural conditions, the tea trees of the Tie Guan Yin cultivar harvest three times a year and a very small amount is harvested. The tea leaves were ordered from Mr. Wu by our longtime friend Mr. Kuo, who processed them for Tie Guan Yin in the traditional way, with a higher degree of oxidation and stronger baking, which in this case was carried out at low temperature continuously for 15 days. This is a very unique and rare tea both in terms of its origin and thanks to the traditional and long baking, which is done by very few people in Taiwan.

Harvest time: spring 2019, baking autumn 2019

Cultivar: Tie Guan Yin

Area: Ching Jing, Mr. Wu Garden, about 2000 m.n.m.

[Spring 2019 harvest]

This tea is quite perfumy with an aroma of cherry wood. The taste has a lot of underlying bitterness, as well as a strong mineral presence that makes is quite savoury, almost salty. There is also a kind of vegetal note and a sweet finish with a very strong aftertaste subsequently.

The liquor has quite a presence. The mouthfeel is at first silky, then mineral and astringent, almost tannic. The finish is somewhat cooling with an expansive fragrance.
