Alishan Competition 3rd Place Jin Xuan Oolong Tea - Spring 2015

Like every tea growing region in Taiwan, Alishan has its own competition as well. Numerous competitions in Taiwan has make the so called "competition tea" a very common phenomenon, and they can worth from 80$ to 500$ or even more. But not every one of them will worth the price tag, some tea has the competition grading simply because it was sent to the competition no matter how local the competition can be.   This lovely roasted Jin Xuan has the name of "competition", but we decided to offer it not simply because it placed well in the competition.  We have it in our collection because of its rich flavour and the optimum roast which brings this Jin Xuan to its best state. The familiar milky note has been transformed into a interesting note of fruit and bamboo shoot with a mellow and thick body. T his is the tea for people who are looking for a high mountain Jin Xuan processing just perfectly!     Harvest:  Spring 2015 / 春 貳零壹伍 Varietal:  Jing Xuan /  金萱 Elevation:  1000 M / 壹仟 公尺 Region:
