Taitung Oolong

Origin

This Taitung Oolong comes from Luye Township in Taitung County, Taiwan, a region gaining recognition for expressive and refined oolongs. Cultivated at mid-altitude elevations, the leaves for this tea are carefully processed to balance aromatic lift with textural depth — a hallmark of Taiwanese mountain oolong craftsmanship. Small-batch production and attentive oxidation allow the character of the terroir to shine through in every cup.
