Alishan Qing Xiang “A” (Alishan Mountain Fresh Aroma Oolong)

Taiwanese oolong from Alishan Mountain with a clean, fresh aroma. Emerald-green leaf and a bright yellow liquor. We recommend brewing it in a thin-walled gaiwan and drinking it from tea cups.

The aroma of the dry leaf is dense, rich, and sweet, with notes of cream and rice porridge. In the warmed leaf, hints of rose, linden, and vanilla emerge. The taste is full-bodied, sweet, and rich, with a buttery texture. The tea has an oily mouthfeel. The aftertaste is pronounced, with sweetness gradually turning into freshness.

A versatile oolong — full-bodied and well-balanced. Exactly as it should be. Everything in it feels precisely measured, as if by a spoon. It walks a tightrope without losing balance. It is unlikely to surprise, but it will certainly please.
