Shanlinxi is one of the three most famous regions from taiwan tea together with Alishan and Lishan. Surrounded by mist, clouds, and large trees, the wulong produced in Shanlinxi are often reassuring, abundant in its aromas and with great vitality, like were you in a forest.
A gentle tea, smooth on the palate. Sweet and aromatic like a white flower. Round in the mouth and with a long aftertaste. Imperceptible astringency and, if prepared with a large number of leaves, slight bitterness that transforms into sweetness coming from aftertaste, which gives it complexity.
This is one of the gardens in Shanlinxi where we have had the privilege of coming face to face with the famous Jacobiasca Formosana, whose bite promotes sweet flavors in tea.
