Rising 1900 meters above sea level, San Lin Xi lies in the center of a range of peaks that bear its name. Of the 15 mountains that form the range, San Lin Xi is the highest.
Harvested the last week of April 2014 from a tea garden that sits only a couple hundred meters below peak, our San Lin Xi Spring harvest is oxidized to nearly 20%, a more traditional method that intensifies aroma, flavor and after taste of the tea. This traditional crafting method takes oxidation to the point where all the tea’s innate fruitiness and creaminess is optimized, yet balanced.
Amongst our Formosa oolongs, San Lin Xi stands out for its unique, almost tropical, tang. The flavor and aromatic profile of this tea is rich with notes of flowers, tropical fruit (pineapples and papayas!), brown sugar and cream. The finish is at the same time aromatic and sumptuous.

This is a super tasty high mountain Taiwanese oolong (and currently one of the only ones in my stash).
I feel like Red Blossom did a really good job of describing the notes in this one. It is super lush tasting! The tea liquor brews up a light green and has a wonderful cream note with hints of butter and intense fruit. I am getting mango and pineapple. I steeped it around 5 times in the gaiwan and it is still going strong but the fruity notes are a bit more present in the earlier steeps. It has a lingering finish that really coats your mouth after you’ve been sipping on it. I tried this in the store and it is definitely a treat. Great afternoon tea, really relaxing and the flavor makes me so happy! Loved it.
