Product code:
CSTW-8
Over the years, wulongs from Dong Ding Mountain (Taiwan) have made quite a name for themselves.
Grown in high-altitude, shorter daylight and greater temperature variations concentrate the aromatic oils in the slow budding leaves. They are well known amongst tea enthusiasts for their creamy texture and buttery taste.
In their traditional style, wulongs from Nantou region are typically roasted. But the last decade has seen farmers leaning more and more towards “jade wulongs” production: bright blue-green unroasted pearls gloriously showcasing the creamy potential of Taiwanese tea.
This exquisite Dong Ding tea reveals bright floral fragrances rounded up by exotic fruits accents and delightful milky side notes.

A Yixing gaiwan with a glazed interior that allows for a variety of flavours while retaining the comforting look of the raw clay.
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.
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.
