CSTW-17
Situated in the north of the island, to the south of the capital, the town of Pinglin remains true to the traditional style of "Bao Zhong" with the leaves rolled lengthways into twists.
Velvety and slightly saline, the liquor is vegetal (spinach) enhanced with accents of tomatoes and spices.
The evolution of flavours and mouthfeel is dynamic with a persistent finish refined with citrus (clementine) and flowers.

Dong Ding Mr. Chang
Over the years, wulongs from Dong Ding Mountain have made quite a name for themselves.
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 tea produced in this region.
