Description

“This is the chocolatiest tea I’ve had in a long time.”

Fully oxidized teas come in many varieties and taste profiles among them can be quite different. We’re excited to offer you this outstanding quality black tea Sourced from Alishan Mountain’s Zhang Shu Hu area. Grown at 1,600M, this is really a High Mountain tea but it resembles our Farmer Lee’s Black Tea from Sun-Moon Lake in appearance as it’s processed in the same way.

We’ve not had another Black Tea like this in Taiwan. It reminds us much more of a good quality Wuyi Oolong. This tea has strong Chocolaty and roasted notes, malty but maintaining its balance. This makes an outstanding iced tea as well delivering a nice crispy, lip smacking experience.

We like to brew this tea in a Gaiwan. We’re very impressed with this tea and hope you will be too!
