.
A semi-green tea from the Shimada region of Shiizuoka Prefecture.
The base is the quite rare Z1 cultivar from the late summer harvest. The oolong production process is 12-15 hours of withering, half an hour of oxidation, rolling and then drying.
The tea is very fresh, light, floral and sweet, with fruity tones but still full of body and flavour. A very drinkable and affordable oollong that reminds me most of the spring-harvested Wen Shan Bao Zhong in its character. It is grown in organically managed gardens.

Brewing 150ml: First infusion - 80-90C, 5g, 30-40s, second and third infusion 15-30s, other infusions according to individual preference.
It should be noted that it is advisable to experiment with teas and discover their beauty!
