1 bud/2 leaves bug bitten material Unmanaged Qinxin Oolong plantation Very comforting, great fragrance This tea comes from a very low yield tea garden located in Fen Shui Ling, Jinggu area. The Qingxin oolong gardens were planted by a taiwanese tea maker and then reclaimed by a young local tea maker. This is the second year Mr Zong has been making oriental beauty tea in his garden to complement his black tea production. This one is better than last year's, with a slightly lighter oxidation level and a bit more bug biting (although not a much as we could hope for, we're working on it!) Here is a video that shows his factory, we talk a lot about oriental beauty processing.
