Occupying the territory between green tea and oolong: oxidised to only around 12–18%, it retains the fresh, vegetal character of a fine green tea while developing a delicacy and fl oral complexity that green tea alone rarely achieves. Produced in the Wenshan district north of Taipei, the large, loosely twisted leaves brew a very pale, clear liquor with an extraordinarily clean aroma; lily, fresh air, the faintest suggestion of orchid, and a finish that lingers long after the cup is empty. Fragile and exceptional. Show more
