From Mountain Stream Teas

The High Mountains of Taiwan have many growing regions and this one is relatively new. Perched on the east facing side of the He Huan Mountain Range, this terroir is slightly different than its Pear Mountain cousins. We bought a limited amount of this tea as a comparison and we are releasing it for sale now!

While gown conventionally, this tea has passed the Taiwanese Government’s ‘Safety Tests’ for many years and is a good example of relatively clean, conventionally grown tea for the Taiwanese domestic market. If you are interested in trying conventionally grown high mountain oolong with taste points designed for the domestic market this is a great one!

Status: Tested Agrochemical Safe, Conventionally Grown

Cultivar: QinXin

2023 sipdown no. 34

This one has a creamy vegetal steeped scent, with hints of bitterness. The taste is very smooth with a natural creamy sweetness and just the most subtle edge of bitterness as it cools.

I’m not completely sure if this is the correct tea, the name on the bag is Chilaishan Oolong and the steeping parameters on the bag note:

Amount: 5g+ per 100ml
Water: ~100C
Gongfu: 30, 40, 60 sec. steeps then +15 seconds to taste
Western: 3-5g per mug, 1-2 minute steeps
