We hope to source a new lot of this tea this year, but there is no guarantee.

Raw in its power, yet graceful in its prowl. It has the aroma of a thick garden on a hot day and a solid body that can be rolled around in your mouth. The cup is savory with qualities of dried flowers and polished quartz. No astringency. Playful and unusual.

Harvested and produced April 5, 2024 by Mr. Li Shao Lin. In Dehua County, Fujian Province. It’s a one bud, leaf, two leaf pick of the Taiwan Qing Xin Da Mao cultivar growing at 2,200 feet. Qing Xin Da Mao is used to make Taiwan’s famous “Oriental Beauty” oolong tea, which is a summer production. This is a new experiment for the spring harvest and the first green tea made in this county. The leaves are withered before dry-firing to significantly lower the astringency and deliver a much smoother performance.
