2021 Vintage Taiwan Shan Lin Xi High Mountain Oolong Tea -300g

A Taste of Time: 2021 Vintage Shan Lin Xi Oolong Tea is like wine; it evolves with time. This specific batch of Shan Lin Xi High Mountain Oolong was harvested and sealed in 2021 (Republic of China Year 110). We have carefully stored it to allow the tea leaves to undergo a natural aging process. Why Buy 2021 Vintage Tea? While fresh tea is known for its floral high notes, aged tea (Chen-Cha) is prized for its stability and smoothness. Over the years, the "fire" and sharpness of the tea recede, leaving behind a mellow, sweet liquor that is incredibly smooth to drink. It is an excellent choice for those who find fresh green teas too astringent. Label Explanation: On the anti-counterfeit label, you will see the number "110". This refers to the year 2021 in the Taiwanese calendar. This is your guarantee of the tea's vintage age. Brewing the Vintage: We recommend using boiling water (100°C) to fully awaken the aged leaves. A quick rinse is recommended before the first steep. You will notice the aroma is deeper and more settled compared to fresh harvests.
