Try this tea first
Product code:
CSTW-1
From Ali Mountain on the island of Taiwan, this high altitude wulong tea is one of our classics. We have been lucky to enjoy teas created by Mr. Chen's expertise for several years.
Offering all the typical aromatic trademarks of Gao Shan Cha (high mountain tea) with its softer leaves, it gives off fine vegetal and fruity notes (coconut, exotic fruits) when infused, while developing a delicious vanilla and fresh pastry aspects.
Tasty and persistent.

Shan Lin Xi
The mountain of Shan Lin Xi is steep and imposing, highly exposed to the natural elements. Its wild character seems to be reflected in the Wulong tea produced in this region.
Dong Ding Mr. Chang
Over the years, wulongs from Dong Ding Mountain (Taiwan) have made quite a name for themselves.
Pinglin Bao Zhong
Situated in the north of the island of Taiwan, to the south of the capital, the town of Pinglin remains true to the traditional Wulong style of "Bao Zhong" with the leaves rolled lengthways into twists and sorted by hand one by one to create uniformity between them.
