Most high-mountain Alishan oolongs are typically lightly roasted, but this particular one undergoes a unique process - it is roasted for over 24 hours using charcoal at a very low temperature. This meticulous method ensures that the tea does not acquire a smoky cigar-like taste.
Alishan oolong is renowned for its silky, buttery texture and delicate spring flower notes. When these characteristics merge with the charcoal roast, the tea transforms into a comforting cup of Autumn delight. It brings to memories of buttered roasted corn, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that is truly special to Taiwan's high mountain teas.
Brewing Instructions: Use about 4g of this tea with 195°F and rinse once. Use about 100ml of spring water. Steep for about 40 seconds for the first infusion, about 20 seconds for the second infusion, and back to 40 seconds for the third infusion.

Medium Roast Receives Top Notch Toast!!
Now this is Oolong tea my friends! It’s so good on so many levels that I’m not sure where to begin. This one has it all! I am on my second order of this tea and it’s really hard to keep myself from going through it as fast as it can be brewed! I have a few friends that aren’t really interested in tea the way I am and I love handing them a fresh cup for their first time and watching their faces light up with surprise when they get their first taste. My other tea drinkers have definitely been “helping” me out by making sure that no tea goes to waste ! I’ve noticed that it has a very familiar yet difficult to place flavor that will have you scratching your head until it finally hits you. Think honey baked ham with a touch of cloves and then you get it! That’s right, I did say ham, folks! Absolutely one of my top five favorites and I would be amazed if I ever found one better than this! Do yourself a huge favor and get some of this while you have a chance! You will not be disappointed!!

A very nice medium roasted Oolong - has a nice buttery nutty flavor, though for me missing more of the fragrant notes I love.
