Cui Feng (High Mountain Oolong Tea)

Cui feng is a lightly oxidized oolong sourced from Nantou in the village of ren ai, grown at 1850 meters. We sourced this spring 2023 batch from our friend who works with various tea farms in the Nantou area.

This batch of Cui Feng oolong tea is extremely smooth with sweet aroma. It doesn't get astringent or bitter, you can push it further than other oolongs grown at lower altitudes. You will notice the fruity flavors more than other teas in our collection. I remember my trip in Taiwan and the first time I tried this tea, and I’ve never tasted anything quite like it. The delivery of the floral flavor was super prominent yet doesn’t overwhelm the flavor of the tea soup, which is something hard to find out there. Cui feng is one of my favorite oolongs for sure.
