Experience two pluckings with two different processing techniques from Spring 2017 in Uncle Lin's Tea Maker Flight. Compare two versions of Four Seasons jade oolongs from our 4th generation tea garden in Taiwan.
ORIGIN
The Lin Family Tea Farm is 2.7-acre tea estate located in Mingjian, a well-known tea village 500m above sea level in Nantou, Taiwan. The soil on our farm is dark red and iron-rich.
CULTIVATION AND PROCESSING
Uncle Lin is a fourth-generation tea maker who produces our teas using natural, traditional methods. Uncle Lin makes special teas exclusively for us in his small tea factory. Every year, he makes us a new version that has been processed with lots of care, making these some of our favourite batches of tea.
With the help of bees and cross-pollination, there is a sweetness in these teas that comes from the pineapples and dragonfruit gardens, which grow alongside the tea garden on the Lin family farm. Made from the four seasons cultivar, these tea has been picked during morning daylight hours. Stems and buds can be found in this tea.TEA BREWING GUIDE
