Taiwan has been a paradise of new tea varietals, providing varietals such as Jin Xuan and Cui Yu which were both developed back in the 1980s. However, Taiwan is also a great place for cultivating new varietals, such as the Baxiang you are seeing here. Developed in Fujian province of China in the 1980s, Baxiang is a varietal that is quite famous for its distinctive aroma, and now we finally have the Taiwanese version of this tea.
This plantation is already quite famous in the region, because this varietal is really rare in Taiwan. Moreover, this batch of tea was processed by our long term friend Master Zhuang, who is also the master who in charges of our tea roasting. Master Zhuang also has the concept of proper oolong tea processing in his mind, and he successfully turned this tea into a beautiful experience.
