SunLinkSea(Shan Lin Xi) High Mountain Black Oolong 杉林溪紅烏龍

The Perfect Harmony of Rich Black Tea and High Mountain Elegance
Discover a truly unique tea experience born high in the misty peaks of southern Taiwan. Grown at an impressive altitude of 1,700 meters in the renowned Sun Link Sea (Shan Lin Xi) region, this premium, hand-picked oolong is lightly oxidized and completely unroasted to preserve its pristine, elevated character.
Crafted from the historic Chin Shin cultivar—a cold-weather tolerant tea tree brought to Taiwan over a century ago—this exceptional lot offers a masterful crossover profile. It beautifully marries the comforting, robust depth of a black tea with the crisp, ethereal complexity of a high mountain oolong. Every sip delivers the coveted “Shan Tou Qi” (High Mountain Qi), leaving a vibrant floral aroma and a naturally sweet, long-lasting finish on the palate.
