Overview
Pairing: stone fruit, roast chicken, or buttery pastries
Harvested from perhaps the most famous location in Taiwan – Ali Shan. Responsibly grown by the Chen family from the Tie Quan Tin Cultivar at 1100 meters. Deep charcoal firing has imparted a deeply satisfying smokey flavour of roasted nuts, dried fruit and spices on this tea. This small batch spring harvest leaves a complex, lingering finish on the palate. Preferred brewing method: Gai Wan, 2 tsp. water at 95C, 6-8 infusions.
