Among Taiwan's celebrated high mountain tea regions, Shan Lin Xi has earned a reputation for producing oolongs of exceptional elegance. The gardens cling to steep mountain slopes where cool mists, crisp air, and dramatic swings between warm days and cool nights allow the leaves to mature slowly, developing remarkable sweetness and complexity.

This spring harvest is everything we hope for in a high mountain oolong. The dry leaves of this Qingxin cultivar promise a refined cup, and the first infusion opens with enchanting floral aromas carried by a rich, silky texture. As the tea unfolds, notes of fresh vanilla, pineapple, and delicate wildflowers emerge. The finish is long, creamy, and gently sweet, leaving behind a whisper of fresh coconut that lingers pleasantly on the palate.

MORE DETAILS

What we appreciate most about this tea is its sense of balance. It is expressive without being overpowering, layered without being complicated. Each infusion reveals a new dimension, making it a tea to savor slowly and revisit throughout the afternoon.

For those who love Taiwanese high mountain oolongs, this Shan Lin Xi is a beautiful expression of the region's unique terroir—graceful, creamy, floral, and deeply satisfying.
