From the “rear” part of Li Shan area, Hua Gang is considered as one of the “higher” elevation areas of Li Shan. The area is cold most of the time so planting tea here became an obvious agricultural activity. “Hua Gang” is also a name for a very famous tea factory in Taiwan which sold their tea at a very high price mostly to the PRC market. Fortunately, our Hua Gang not only has a better price, but also delivers the unbeatable “Hua Gang” quality, superior to many other so-called “Hua Gang” oolongs.
Thanks to the superb quality from the plantation, this tea delivers a very strong overall feeling that makes it very distinctive. The drinker will immediately sense how strong this tea is when boiled water was poured into the teapot with it. The pungent aroma and crystal clear body reminds us of a rare and precious gem, thus the name “Emerald”.
