“Taiwanese green Tie Guan Yins are few and far between, possibly because they’re hard to grow. Given my love of Anxi Tie Guan Yin and gaoshan and my wonderful experience with What-Cha’s Lishan Tie...” Read full tasting note

Description

High-Mountain Oolongs are Taiwan’s most famous and ubiquitous type of tea, earning worldwide recognition over the years as “the tea” of Taiwan. Most high-mountain oolongs are made using the Qing Xin (青心) varietal, but this Shanlinxi oolong we have here is made using a completely different varietal, called the Litttle-Tieguanyin varietal (小铁).

Creamier and milkier than a Qing Xin oolong, acidic notes and rich tones give it a special character. Pair it with an oily and smooth texture as well as a juicy and refreshing aftertaste, this little-tieguanyin really is a treat.
