Gaofeng "Wu Shi Cai" Jade Oolong Tea - Spring 2017

This high mountain jade oolong is from the highest part of Wushe area which is located at 1700 meters above sea level called Gaofeng. The plantation was planted at a relatively rocky soil compared to other tea plantation, which makes this a interesting and solid representation for high mountain oolong teas This season does not have a great weather condition to process great teas, but the location of Gaofeng, even from a lower elevation, proved its value by its quality and price.   The Gaofeng from this spring is quite special. Under the pressure and insistence of the supervisor, the raw material of this tea was forced to be picked from 10:00 AM to 15:00 PM to ensure it will have the least amount of moist in the tea leaves. This type of material is called "Wu Shi Cai" (午時菜), and is rare to have in today's high mountain tea. We are proud to have such a great quality Gaofeng tea again this year, especially when most of the high mountain tea did not perform as well as those from last sprin
