Grown at 1200m altitude in Rui Feng village of Ali Shan, this April harvest is a great representative of a fine Taiwanese green oolong. High altitude means slower growth, colder winter temperatures and longer winter rest, which results in greater complexity and depth of flavour. This is a beautifully fragrant and floral tea that lasts through many infusions. The sweet scented leaves remind of lily and lilac. The infusion is light yellow with a buttery mouthfeel, hints of vanilla and lavender, and a long lasting aftertaste.
