Taiwanese oolong tea
Cui Feng High Mountain tea brought to us by Naoya Urayama, a Taiwanese tea specialist.
Cui Feng is often regarded as Lishan, but it is actually located between Lishan and Shan Lin Xi, about 2000 m from sea level. Unlike other Cui Feng teas, the tea leaves used in this one are picked from young, healthy tea plants that are only harvested until 4 years old. It is important to keep the quality high with the strong, young plants since the weather conditions have not been the most ideal recently.
This tea showcases the dedication of the tea producer.
Origin: Cui Feng, Ren'ai Township, Nantou County, Taiwan
Production time: Late April, 2022
Cultivar: Qing Xin Oolong
Fermentation grade: light-middle
Roasting: no
TASTING NOTES
A surprisingly sweet, pleasantly floral tea that unravels in your mouth, gently slipping down your throat. A really mellow, silky, pampering tea that is a perfect choice for everyone. It’s milky and creamy on the finish. Ideally prepared after a brief rinse, starting with 95-degree Celsius water and 30-second infusions, gradually increasing the time of re-steeping to 1 minute. The tea retains its light, well-rounded flavors throughout the succession of infusions without any harsh, astringent notes.

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Rinse. Put the tea leaves in your vessel, pour hot water over them and then discard the water quickly. This step is for "waking the leaves" a little bit.
STEP 3) Brew. Pour boiling water on your rinsed tea leaves and brew for 30 seconds.
STEP 4) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 5) Brew again.
❖ After the first few infusions, you can increase the steeping time (to about 35-40 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.

This is a wonderfully complex tea, a lovely combination of honey, orchids and a faint, very faint hint of cinnamon. You can get a lot of infusions with this one, and the more you flush it, the sweeter it becomes. And you know what? Let the tea cool down a little, that's when it will truly surprise you.
