We love Taiwanese teas for their tropical complexity. While sometimes more delicate & understated, their light oolongs showcase fragrant, dreamy personas unlike any other tea region.
For first-time shoppers, we recommend this lovely brew for people who prefer a elegant Anxi oolongs like Mao Xie and Tie Guan Yin, or high quality Japanese green teas.
If you want to venture tropical or Taiwanese flavors, but want to start out with a more economic tea, we recommend trying our Osmanthus Flower Oolong!
