Cultivar: Qingxin (ruanzhi) Oolong

Harvested by hand: May 16th, 2025.

Origin: Tsui Feng, Lishan (1900 m) Taiwan.

Process: light oxidation, rolled, dried.

1. View

The leaves are fresh dark green. They produce a bright, shiny and clear light yellow brew. The open leaves are just very lightly oxidized and very delicate.

2. Scents

High notes of fresh spring flowers and thick grass, just cut. The flowery fragrances start first and are progressively replaced with the fat, butter fragrances of very high Oolong tea. This smell lingers on the palate and comes back to the nose with a hint of freshness.

3. Taste

Delicate, light, fresh and sweet in taste and aftertaste. It's pleasing and round with no hint of bitterness, even in competition mode (3 gr for 6 minutes).

Conclusion: these leaves were picked rather young. The taste isn't as thick as in Da Yu Ling, but its light sweet and fresh aromas are just delicious!
