This popular tea is made from a cultivar that can be harvested year-round and gets its name from its region and cultivar - si ji chun - which literally means four seasons springtime, or all harvests (spring, summer, fall, and winter) taste like spring.

Nantou Four Seasons is grown in mountainous Nantou County, Taiwan, which is in the central part of the island. The hand-picked leaves are lightly oxidized and rolled into ball shapes. When infused, a lush lilac aroma is immediately released; as the leaves open through multiple infusions, a prominent honey-sweet flavor and fresh green notes linger.
