Si Ji Chun, Charcoal Roasted

Description

Si Ji Chun or Four Seasons oolong is a slightly flowery Taiwanese variety as usual
grown at 200m ~ 600m 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 agriculture and no pesticides are used. They process
weeding, harvesting and manual processing. Mr. Chang's tea is more oxidized than regular farmers
for a softer taste and aroma.

This tea has gone through a slow charcoal roasting using charcoal from the longan
which takes about 2 weeks. This results in a deeper and fuller body and the aroma is maintained for a long time, which makes it perfect for long-term storage.
