From Mountain Stream Teas

High Mountain Black Teas are special. Grown at 1800m in the Lishan Mountain region, this one is no different. From the moment you open the bag, you know that the tea is different. The ripe, sweet red fruit flavors that this tea offers are only possible with highly oxidized high mountain tea leaves. And this one has a generous amount of floral notes mixed in as well. From a rare female tea master, we are very happy to support this new partner farm!

This tea has some of the most striking red fruit flavors we have ever come across in a tea. If you are a fan of high mountain Taiwanese blacks, this one is must try!

Very much in the spirit of What-Cha’s Taiwan Wild Shan Cha Black. Dark berries and roast, from the dry leaf through the nose to the sip to the bottom of the cup. Wet leaf is like a rich, caramelized blackberry preserve. I even get some of the same wet dog here and there, lol. Some of these high mountain teas from Taiwan are just so special… black or oolong, light or dark roast, they give and give and give.

This one has an immediate, but not overwhelming, waffle-honey sweetness against a medium body. There’s naturally a smooth maltiness as well. I mean, Taiwanese High Mountain teas are my all-time favourite, but I loved this one so much upon my first cup, I went and ordered more XD. I really love that this comes from a female tea master as well. Thankfully I managed to snag some before it sold out — the following day!

I hope they keep stocking this one because it’s a winner!
