A good year for Taiwan! - Spring Teas 2011 (Taiwan)

Ni Hao,

Good news for fans of Taiwanese tea: it's a wonderful year. Temperatures a little colder than usual have meant that the pace of tea plant growth was slightly slower, giving us some very aromatic tea leaves. A personal favourite of mine is the Shan Linhsi tea garden of Mr. Nen Yu. This is a brand new garden perched at 1600 meters with a very young plants of only 5 years old, this will provide our Shan Linhsi this year.
Of all the gardens visited Taiwan, this was most the exciting, not only for the quality of its tea, but the whole experience: the friendliness and hospitality of Mr. Nen Yu, the breathtaking scenery and the fresh air of high altitude gardens. You will have the chance to taste this little gem soon.

Bonne dégustation,
