From Mountain Stream Teas

This wonderful tea garden was found following a series of minor misfortunes, missteps, and screaming matches on sourcing trip to the famous Alishan area a few years ago. We have been working closely with The Mayor since, and this spring we were happy to support them with a large purchase of their spring tea.

Since then, we have been working hard to roast this tea to perfection, in our minds at least. It is finally ready to be shared! Smooth, sweet and buttery with a touch of roast, this tea is slightly less roasted than its Mayor’s Alishan sister tea giving it a thicker mouthfeel and sweeter aftertaste. For the price it is hard to beat this one for value, and we look forward to roasting some more next year!

A disappointing Jinxuan. I got the 2021 harvest of this tea from my recent Mountain Streams order. It is the first time in a while that I got to try one of my favourite teas, Jinxuan Oolongs. However, this tea was quite disappointing. Yes, it has beautiful leaves with a smooth yet unique texture and aroma, but the flavour was lacking in potency and complexity, and the finish just wasn’t that present. Little cha-qi with horrendous longevity, as well as a character that leaves a lot to be desired. While this tea isn’t bad by any means, it isn’t great and it isn’t something I’d recommend either.
