High Mountain Ya Shi Xiang










High Mountain Ya Shi Xiang
Harvested in May, 2025. These long, dark, and twisted oolong tea leaves are grown at high altitude (over 1000 meters) and are processed in very small batches. Thanks to the fertile red soil, humidity, and altering temperatures, this tea release a noticeably flowery fragrance with almond milk, wood, fruit, and mineral notes.
Steep with boiling hot water (100℃/ 212℉) for only 3 seconds. It can be steeped 10 - 13 times in a Gaiwan vessel.
From the moment the hot water hits the tea leaves, the fragrance of this High Mountain Ya Shi Xiang greets the nose. It’s rich and varied with its characteristic orchid aroma interplaying with fruity sweetness and rich mountain/mineral flavor. When smelling the brewed tea, you will pick up a light, refreshing floral fragrance. The first impression of the taste is fruity and sweet, immediately followed by the thicker, richer aroma of the tea’s body, and then a mellow, honey aftertaste. Delicate and complex, this is an ultra-premium Duck Sh*t Aroma Dan Cong.
Please note that the tea will be shipped after November 30.
