杉林溪紅茶 - Shanlinxi Red Tea
A limited selection. From the Shanlinxi tea plantation nestled amongst cypress and bamboo forests. Classic red tea (black in the West) from Taiwan.
Produced from the 青心烏龍 (Qingxin Wulong) cultivar, a versatile cultivar that has a great potential for aromas depending on the processing.
Evident golden buds between whole and rolled leaves. Delicate and persistent thanks to master producers with experience in small-leaf black tea. Medium-light intensity. Soft, persistent, fruity, sweet and dried fruit aroma.
