Description
A delicate oolong
Nestled in the heart of a bamboo forest in the highlands of Shan Lin Xi, the tea plants thrive in an exceptional natural environment. Crafted from the Qing Xin cultivar, the leaves of this high-mountain tea are harvested at an altitude of 1,200 meters!
It offers an infinitely smooth texture that reveals bright, precise notes of vanilla, butter, and flowers, delicately coating the palate.
