The Diva is back!

This tea comes from a medium sized garden near the indigenous Atayal people's village Smangus, a remote village in Northern Taiwan known for virgin old growth forests and ancient cypress trees. Not many farmers are growing tea up there, and this specific garden is newly planted. Beautiful ecology, with lots of wild animals and plants around the tea bushes. Roughly located at 1500 meters. The 'sea of clouds' and mountain mist are beautiful in the morning.

Fruit forward bombshell! Enveloping aroma allures with mango and peach notes taking the lead, sweet milk candy in the bass and gentle rose in the alto register. Mouthfeel is full and soft with a texture of heavy cream that coats the tongue and throat. A satisfying fruity-chocolate bitterness gives substance and bite to an otherwise plump and soft broth, which instigates an appealing returning sweetness in the finish.

This growing location is unique among high mountain oolong regions in the fruit cocktail of tropical aromas it brings to the table. When finished with slightly golden-yellow oxidation (as this one is) the resulting rich, creamy broth complements those notes in such a sexy way.
