Winter Chin-shin Oolong

In subtropical Taiwan, the intense humidity that creates the misty atmosphere of Alishan — the tallest mountain in the island nation — dissipates partially when the chill of late Autumn sets in. In October, the sky stays clearer for longer. Little leaves that spout during this time have amply stored up for the few drier months ahead. These are great conditions for oolong harvest and processing. Presenting Cold Dew₁ Alishan, masterfully rebaked from the premium Autumn harvest of Chin-shin tea trees. Oolongs made from this quintessential Taiwan wulong cultivar have a few times more teaghrelin₂ than any others₃, though we hope you buy it more for the great taste of this archetypical Taiwan premium oolong. ­Net weight: 70 g (2.5 oz) in Kraft-alu pillow
