Oolong Nr. 17 Jin Xuan Jade Pearls

Oolong Nr. 17 Jin Xuan Jade Pearls, rolled, handpicked: A queen amongst the Oolong teas of Northern Thailand. The No.17 hybride genuinely originates from the Taiwanese Alishan Highlands, from where the tea plant was imported to North Thailand in 1994. There, particularly in the mountain region of Doi Mae Salong, the plant finds optimal climate and geological conditions similar to those in its place of origin at altitudes beween 1200 and 1800 meters and a seasonal change between a rainy, a hot and dry, and a cool period in a 4-months rhythm, and has since been brought to a new level of perfection by the local population of ethnic Chinese (Yunnan) origin

This clear, pale oolong is a new taste experience for me–delightfully light, fresh, flowery, and uplifting, not my usual bitter and bracing Twinings gunpowder green tea I normally use to jolt myself awake each morning. This #17 oolong from the mountains of northern Thailand is more like a morning walk through a spring garden.
