Eco-Cha Tea Club: 103 - Lalashan High Mountain Oolong Tea | Eco-Cha Teas

Batch 103 of the Eco-Cha Tea Club is a Lalashan High Mountain Oolong Tea — spring 2024 harvest. Lalashan is Taiwan's northernmost high mountain tea growing region, located in the Fuxing District of the greater Taoyuan area. It is a remote mountainous region mostly populated by indigenous Taiwanese. Bamboo, fruit and tea farms are scattered throughout these mountains, with a few tourist attractions along the way.

The tea has a soft, smooth mouthfeel with little or no astringency. It offers a buttery, savory character with a fresh, soothing floral bouquet in the aftertaste. The oxidation level was the lightest out of the 5 days of harvest from the same farm that we tasted — offering the freshest, most aromatic profile.
