Zheng Shan Wu Shi Cha 正杉午時茶 (Zhèng shān wǔshí chá).
A green tea made from the Qing Xin oolong varietal, Zheng Shan Wu Shi Cha gets its name, “Wu Shi” from its noontime harvest. The tea is picked as it absorbs the full sunshine, offering a light and gentle taste with a fresh and elegant aroma. Our Shan Lin Xi farmers do not process this tea every year, and they preserve the freshness of their small batches of this tea by storing in the freezer.
With a smooth, refreshing mouthfeel and the capacity to be steeped many times, this tea tends less toward astringency than typical green teas. The taste and aroma is bright and delicate, resembling sakura (cherry blossom) mochi.
