This is the first tea we have found from this region that has stood out for its refinement and excellent execution of flavour. Grown at an altitude of 1,600m in a forested area in Nantou County, it's abundant in high mountain character. The tea is produced by Luo Zhengbin, who follows organic practices in his garden and innovatively uses a new hybrid of two famous cultivars (Jin Xuan and Qing Xin) to give the tea its unique creaminess, high florality and refinement. Meet Luo and find out more about the taste, origin and how to prepare this tea in our Deep Dive.
