Experience two different spring harvest vintages in Uncle Lin’s Traditional Taiwanese Chin Shin Oolong Flight. Compare the chin shin cultivar's spring 2018 and 2020 seasons from our 4th generation tea garden in Taiwan.
Uncle Lin is a fourth-generation tea maker who produces our teas naturally using traditional methods and without pesticides. Uncle Lin makes special teas exclusively for us in his small tea factory. Uncle Lin’s Traditional Taiwanese Oolong is the tea that Grandpa Lin and his generation grew up drinking. A classic Taiwanese tea, we think you will love.
Delightful floral and fruit sweetness with green notes is typical of Taiwanese oolongs. Pineapples, dates, and lychee trees grow gracefully in this garden giving magic notes to this extraordinary tea.
90-95°C, 3g per 200ml cup, 3-4 min on the first brew. This tea may be infused several times - you may use shorter brew times after the first brew.
We love these teas as an introduction to the world of oolongs. Compare this tea with Uncle Lin's Four Seasons pearl oolongs with grown in the same tea garden from the floral-tasting four seasons cultivar. You can try Alishan Winter teas to taste the difference using new sprouts in tea and a higher elevation. Consider our Vintage 1980 oolong tea to see how the chin shin cultivar ages even more? The two aging processes and vintages are make wonderful comparisons for anyone interested in teas.
