Organic Four Seasons High Mountain Oolong
Tasting notes: Peaches, apricots, papaya, sweet cream, honey, gardenia and spinach. Silky soft texture with mild mineral finish. Works well as a cold summer tea.
A unique premium grade Four Season Oolong. Unlike most Taiwan origin Four Seasons teas that are grown in lower elevation tea gardens, this High Mountain Four Seasons tea is grown at an elevation of 1850m (6,070ft). The certified Organic tea garden is situated along the Western border of Guangxi, near Yunnan.
The tea garden and processing is excellently managed by an ex-Taiwanese tea grower and tea maker. The tea is a lightly oxidized fresh oolong with a light/medium roast.
Price range: $11.70 through $88.00
The story behind Four Seasons Oolong tea is that it was found accidentally by a tea farmer in the Mu Zha area in Taipei. The farmer happened to notice that some of his tea plants were growing exceptionally fast, almost like some bushes were growing wild in his garden, while his other regular tea plants were not even beginning to bud. He nurtured & planted a field of these vigorous tea bushes and discovered he could get up to 7 or 8 harvests per year. It could even be cropped in early or late winter, thus the name Four Seasons Oolong. This tea is sometimes compared to Tie Guanyin however, it’s Interesting to note that it has a stronger vigour and wildness to the taste.
