Si Ji Chun

SKU: B219

“Four Seasons Spring” –The dry tea leaves have a strong and deep aroma and the infusion smells wonderfully—intensely yet clean and delicate. True Si Ji Chun always has a powerful aroma, strong enough to fill an entire room. Its flavor is reminiscent of high-mountain oolongs from the mainland—sweet and slightly tangy, with notes of forest berries, raspberries, lemon, lime, honey, mountain flowers, and of course, orchid! Si Ji Chun exhibits the most of all Taiwanese oolongs the so-called “orchid quality in taste and aroma” (among all oolongs, the Chinese Tie Guan Yin shows this the most). Most other island oolongs lean more toward creamy, milky notes and rich fruitiness. The aftertaste is long and clean. This tea has an excellent refreshing and relaxing effect, lifting your mood. Like any high-quality oolong, it is beneficial for blood circulation, vascular health, and additionally has anti-aging properties. Learn more

The tradition of Taiwanese oolongs is relatively young—the oldest among them, Dong Ding, is no more than 150–180 years old. The main representatives of the “Golden Crown of Taiwan” (Li Shan, A-Li Shan, Da Yu Ling) are even later creations, originating in the second half of the 20th century. Similarly, tea made from the Si Ji Chun cultivar, which bears the same name, is also relatively recent. The vast majority of Taiwanese teas are machine-processed in factories, and only a small portion can be labeled “shou zi – handcraft”, meaning teas harvested and processed entirely by hand. These teas are, in a sense, rarities and are generally significantly more expensive than machine-produced daily-consumption oolongs.
