Tawianese Jade Oolong (Nantou)
Tawianese Jade Oolong (Nantou)
Our love of this style of oolong began with our first trip to Taiwan to make tea. Hours spent in a garden high above the clouds picking, withering and processing in a tea factory for around 23 hours. Midway through, a summer rain storm came through bringing down sheets pounding on the tin roof. The sweet aroma of the leaf as it was resting was unlike anything imaginable. There is nothing like being tea factory.
This rolled-style oolong with notes of flowers and honey is admittedly, one our favorites. Clean, fruity, buttery and fresh that only gets better after multiple brews. It's a flavor ride that never ends. Totally smitten.
