A fantastic black tea from high up in Li Shan mountain, with a very smooth texture coupled with an incredible floral taste which lingers in the mouth. The tea is quite light compared to typical black teas with a pleasant sweetness and not any malt or astringency. A limited edition tea produced in very small quantities in the Summer, I ordered an initial kilogram and was luckily was able to get another kilogram in. Tasting Notes: - Very smooth texture- Complex taste which evolves- Floral quality with notes of citrus, fruit and nut which develop with subsequent steeps Harvest: Summer, July 2020 Origin: Cui Fong, Li Shan, Nantou, TaiwanAltitude: 1600m Cultivar: Qing XinSourced: Direct from a Taiwanese wholesaler Brewing Advice:- Heat water to roughly 90°C/194°F- Use 2-3 teaspoons per cup/small teapot- Brew for 3-4 minutes Packaging: Resealable ziplock bag
