Cultivar: Qingxin (ruanzhi) Oolong

Harvested by hand: May 22nd, 2026.

Origin: 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 thick.

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 with a mineral aftertaste. 

Conclusion: The finesse of this Oolong reflects its elevation. However, by remaining (slightly) below 2000 meters, its price remains very reasonable!
