High Mountain Golden Oolong Tea Medium Roasted.
Alishan, Taiwan
Alishan Golden Oolong Tea, sourced from the village of Taihe in Alishan, Taiwan, features the Qingxin Oolong as its primary cultivar. This tea undergoes approximately 30% oxidation before being roasted using longan charcoal, following traditional methods. The medium roasting process involves a meticulously controlled slow-fire technique, achieving a remarkable five-point maturity. The resulting tea infusion boasts a dazzling golden hue, providing an incomparable visual and tasting experience.
The aroma of this tea is deep and layered, with intensified woody notes that give it a unique flavor profile. As the roasting process diminishes the green notes, rich woody fragrances emerge, creating a stable and harmonious experience. The roasting process also reduces the caffeine content, resulting in a gentle and non-irritating brew. Upon entry, the tea is sweet and velvety, with a lingering aftertaste that captivates the senses. The Maillard reaction from traditional hand roasting results in each sip being filled with delightful sweetness and roundness.
The flavor profile of Alishan Golden Oolong Tea combines subtle notes of ripe fruits with honey, merged with the freshness of green fruits, resembling a stroll through a forest while enjoying the crisp air and gifts of nature. This elegant high mountain oolong tea not only represents Taiwan's tea culture but also embodies the essence of savoring life. Whether enjoyed alone or as a cherished gift, it is sure to please.
