This tea is made in the traditional style and taste of Taiwanese tea. It will remind you of the teas that were prevalent in the 1970s and 1980s when the streets of ‘old’ Taiwan were lined with tea shops before bubble tea became fashionable. Handpicked, this tea has lovely large whole leaves and is rolled in pearls a bit more loosely than other teas that in our collection.
The tea has thick and rich with magnolia and fruity notes.

Already past retirement age, Mr Huang has a tea farm along the windy roads of the Alishan Mountain range and is still farming. We usually stop by when we visit Aunt Lin’s farm. His farm is at an elevation of about 2000 m.
