From TheTea

Origin: 900 meters above sea level, Ali Shan, Jiayi county, Taiwan

Harvest: April 2021

Varietal: Tieguanyin 鐵觀音

After almost 3 years legendary Ali Shan Tie Guan Yin Oolong is back. We finally found excellent batch!

This rare tea comes from Ali Shan Mt. in Taiwan. It was produced from a famous and traditional tea bush varietal: Tieguanyin, commonly used in Anxi, Fujian. When you compare Alishan Tieguanyin to most of the high mountain taiwanese oolongs, you will see tea is more oxidized (40-50%) and quite deep roasted. Here is the reason of such a complex taste and aroma! When you taste this tea, you will experience the notes of well-baked bread, muscovado sugar, caramel and great layers of forest fruits, homemade jams and typical (for Tieguanyin) orchid flavour. Enjoy this tea while supply lasts!

This tea smells somewhat like a dark roast, I expect it will benefit from further resting. The aromas are surely coming through though – with notes of rhubarb pie, blackberries and other forest fruits, cherry wood, and muscovado sugar.

The taste is sweet and woody with a distinct black currant flavour, and followed by a savoury and lightly sour aftertaste that also bring a bitterness akin to burnt bread crust. There is also a pleasant slick mouthfeel present throughout the whole session.
