This high mountain black tea comes from the Long Feng Xia area of the Shan Lin Xi region in Taiwan. At an altitude above 1700 meters, this region offers exceptional growing conditions—low temperatures, short daylight hours, and year-round mist that nurtures slow, high-quality leaf development. This tea is made from leafhopper-bitten leaves. When the tea plant is bitten, it produces unique enzymes as a natural defense, creating a distinctive sweetness and honey-like fragrance. Long Feng Xia black tea is known for its rich aroma, often described as floral and fruity with hints of honey and nuttiness. Its flavor is deep and full-bodied, with balanced sweetness and a delicate smokiness that gently lingers. Harvested in summer, the tea has a clean and bright character, with notes of caramel and stone fruit. The tea tastes complex and layered, which offers many dimensions of flavor and aroma that unfold beautifully over multiple steeps.
