ORIGIN
This milk oolong is grown in Mr Lee’s garden, which is located in the middle of the Alishan Mountain range. The Alishan Mountain range includes the highest peaks in Taiwan. This garden is located at around 2000 m elevation. We were introduced to Mr Lee from our long-time neighbour, who looks after his fields with the drones in Nantou and makes our Award-winning Empirical Oolong.
CULTIVATION AND PROCESSING
Mr Lee has taken great care in bringing out the creaminess of this milk oolong made from the Jin Xuan cultivar. Grown and harvested in Winter 2018, we have aged this tea under vacuum. Every year when we open some to re-taste, the floral notes become more refined. The leaves have a pearl shape and are semi-oxidised. This tea has a typical milk oolong character with rich sweetness and buttery texture.
