Shan Lin Xi Black High Mountain 2024
.
Shan Lin Xi is a famous growing area in Nantou County, although often overshadowed by the better-known AliShan area. This tea was harvested by hand from the Chin Xin cultivar, at an altitude of 1200-1300 m above sea level. The harvest took place in May 2024. Most of the time, the leaves from this garden are used to make high mountain oolongs, so it is always a pleasure to be able to source black tea from that production as well, and it is a continuation of the previous supply of this tea.
The Shan lin Xi tea gardens are located at an altitude of 800-2000m above sea level. Some are in hard-to-reach places where climbing equipment is required. Often these areas are surrounded by fir trees, which also affect the resulting taste and freshness of the tea.
The reddish-red infusion has a full, balanced, sweet flavour with hints of vanilla, a combination of peach and cherry, exotic fruits, and a light florality. Excellent, smooth and long aftertaste.
