When seeing this, you might be asking, why are we offering another Lalashan Jade Oolong? Don’t you already have one that is good enough? Well, like other tea regions, the new Lalashan tea region has a special tea plantation that produces superior quality tea material that is different from any other regions. This tea is a rare and fortunate “catch” from the tail-end of the 2015 Spring Harvest. It’s uniquely distinctive, with an intangible touch on the tongue, and offers an after taste that is exactly like peach.
We feel it is necessary to share this tea not only because of the quality, but also the unique experience it brought to us. Even though it is more expensive than other (still fabulous) Lalashan, we think everyone will agree this tea is a worthy addition to our Lalashan teas collection. We invite you taste them side by side and decide for yourself which you prefer. Perhaps you’ll find both are excellent and have their own distinct character.Harvest: Spring 2015 / 春 二零一五

Taoist TeaThis tea is pretty good. It is sweet with mineral notes is the best description I can give. It had a fair amount of astringency to it too. It is not roasted. It had fair lasting power as I gave it ten steeps and all indications are it would have gone a few more steeps. It was sweet enough so as to need no sugar. A year ago I would have added sugar to this tea. This is probably my last gongfu session for another week as I am going to have to pack my last gaiwan after this session as I begin moving tomorrow.
I steeped this tea ten times in a 120ml gaiwan with 7.1g leaf and 190 degree water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 min.
