Lishan Red Tea - Spring

梨山紅茶 - Lishan Red Tea - Spring

PriceFrom NT$630

Red tea (or black tea in the West) produced in late May, shortly after the spring harvest of Lishan Wulong. It is a very interesting tea, as the growth of the plants was slightly late for Wulong so the farmer decided to wait a few weeks and produce red tea. Hence this tea was produced in spring, whereas normally in Lishan they wait until summer to produce this variety of tea due to the warmer climate.

Tea with marked fruity aromas such as red fruits, especially strawberry, certain floral aromas in the aftertaste. Light astringency and bitterness with a rather short finish.

This tea was made on a sunny spring day, in the Yang family factory at more than 2,000 meters above sea level.
