Sourced from a friend of Mr. Wang, who is also a 3rd generational farmer in the Chiayi, Alishan region. His plot of land is located in the lower regions of the area compared to Mr. Wang's. He focuses on planting price friendly & quality teas that are easily harvested and budget friendly.

I am currently enjoying three cups of this delicious tea for
breakfast every morning and heartily recommend it!!!
First time buying loose leaf tea and was surprised by how good it was! So glad I got to try this as the cold weather hit and it was the perfect comforting drink! Loved the aroma after brewing too. I'm usually a coffee or matcha latte drinker but this has been my new go-to drink recently
Big Japanese green lover here. Saw this online for $7 for 30g and thought I'd try it. Compares favorably with better known and much pricier Japanese gyokuro. Brewed it Gong Fu style at about a minute initially. Delicate, sweet and smooth just as described. Try it and compare! Thanks for the very generous portion and the sample of Oolong also Victor and Phoenix!
