From Taiwan Sourcing

Four Seasons Spring oolong is a natural hybrid semi-wild cultivar whose name comes from its continual, and exuberant flushing of ready to pluck leaves. This specimen was originated from the famous Tie Guan Yin region in Taiwan – Muzha, and was discovered accidentally by the local farmer one day. It soon became one of the most popular tea specimen in Taiwan due to its exuberant vitality. This is another of our “three sisters” from Taiwan, and our fresh Four Seasons oolong is vibrant, tangy sweet and almost sour in the mouth. A light and bright tea that is refreshing to drink.

We are proud to offer this classic Taiwanese hand crafted oolong along with her other two sisters as part of our new line of Taiwanese teas. Enjoy!

A simple, light and refreshing daily drinker kind of oolong.

Spring 2017 harvest. Leaf aromas of generic fruitiness, red fruit, perfume, wood, brown sugar, osmanthus, light pine. Substantial liquor aroma. Tastes of dry grass, osmanthus, light fruitiness, clean minerality with citrus zest tingling. Buttery osmanthus and perfumey aftertaste that later becomes evident on the sip. Fairly smooth with some astringency. Maybe a bit old being Spring 2017 harvest; given another year, this would probably devolve into a perfume bomb, so drink fresh! Pretty red-brown oxidized single leaf mixed with green.

Thanks, Togo!

Half a year after I got this tea and more than one year after harvest, I can see some slight development going on. It has definitely darker yellow colour now, a little bit fuller body and for some reason I also got more flowery aromatics on the nose. This is a very pleasant and inoffensive tea overall.
