Shan Lin Xi is pristine nature reserve placed in Zhu Shan Township. Known for its beautiful nature and famous high mountain oolongs. Characteristics terroir produces teas known for their distinct clear and crisp flavor and aroma. Higher elevation and cooler climate slows down growth of tea leaves resulting in characteristic for this region complexity.
This wonderful Dong Ding placed 3rd on Zhu Shan Farmers Association Competition, and we are proud to be able to add it to our offer.
Very rich and comforting tea, one that could be drank as dessert. Leaves in hot brewing vessel give sweet toasty aromas of wood and chocolate. When brewed aromas bring out very sweet notes of cream, puffed rice and butter candy. Liquor is very sweet and smooth, medium to thick with notes of puffed rice and cream turning to toffee as session progresses.
This tea brought me comfort on many cold days and I can see myself indulging in it very often every time I’m looking for a little bit of coziness.
