Si Ji Chun or Four Seasons oolong is a light floral Taiwanese variety usually grown at 200m~600m metres altitude. This Four Seasons is grown at 1500m which is the highest altitude at which Four Seasons is grown. The tea has been awarded The Diamond Taste Award by the International Taste Institute by winning the highest prize. The award-winning farmer Mr Chang insists on natural farming and no pesticides are used. They process weeding, harvesting and processing by hand. Mr. Chang's tea is more oxidised than regular farmers' for a smoother taste and aroma. This tea has gone through a slow charcoal roasting process using charcoal from the longan which takes about 2 weeks. This results in a deeper and fuller body and the flavour is retained for a long time making it perfect for long term storage.
