Try a small size—about three servings—of our Nantou oolong tea. Click here to order regular retail sizes. This oolong is made from a cultivar that can be harvested year-round—si ji chun, which means four seasons like spring. It’s grown in mountainous Nantou County, Taiwan, in the central part of the island. The hand-picked leaves are oxidized about 15% and rolled into ball shapes in small batches; a final light baking yields to a powerful fragrance, nectar-sweet and floral. Country: TaiwanTasting Notes: creamy, nectar, gardenia Approximately three servings -- 200º F 3-5 grams, 2-3 minute steep ¼-⅓ full, 10-20 second steep
