Excellent alpine oolong from Mr. Lino’s beautiful gardens on Cui Feng Mountain, which is a neighbor of the more famous and higher Li Shan Mountain (often confused with this tea in the market because it is very similar in character). Strongly rolled oolong with a very low degree of oxidation and minimal baking, clear in the infusion, light green with a decent floral aroma.
