Light Roast Shan Lin Xi
A gorgeous example of light roast oolong from one of our favorite Taiwanese terroirs, Shan Lin Xi, this oolong is so special we've added it to our Rare Tea Collection!
Lisa Lin is a well respected tea affineur of Dong Ding oolong, a style of rolled Taiwanese oolong that is typically finished by experts like Lin with roasting after harvest and processing. In selecting teas to finish, Lin was particularly taken with this harvest from another revered Taiwanese terroir, Shan Lin Xi. Her expertise in selecting and finishing teas shines in this lightly roasted tea with its pleasantly complex and surprisingly sweet profile. Lin roasted these leaves twice for a total of 14 hours, including a period of two months between roasting to allow the leaves to settle into their flavor composition.
Expect a tea that makes you pause for a moment after each sip to appreciate its beautiful and charming complexity.
