Da Ao, standing 1500 meters above sea level is the highest mountain range of Ali Shan. Dao Ao's tea plantations are surrounded by forests, which makes them a perfect environment, resulting in rare gems like this particular oolong.
The steamed leaves release a fruity scent with the grip of sour, baked walnuts, which only shows in the fragrance because the tea soup itself is just a beautiful combination of fresh greens and ripe mangos.
It is sweet with a creamy floral upbeat and a characteristic green sequel. If not for the strong fruitiness, it would resemble green teas quite a bit. After the first aromatic, flowery greeniness a prominent mango flavor absolutely outpowers everything else. It is there for a couple of moments, then the fresh, grassy notes return and stay long in the back of your throat. It's one of the teas that won't punch back even if forgotten. A longer steeping time only accentuates the grassiness a little, but it still is just fresh and tropical. Perfect for less experienced tea lovers as well.
The tea soup is border-land between pale green and yellow, silky, fresh, and very light.

30 sec.~
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.
