頂級四季春烏龍茶



這款茶產自台灣北部,採用條索狀(相對於球狀)的製作方式。它大約在六月採收,比其他烏龍茶稍晚。茶農讓小綠葉蟬(Jacobiasca formosana)叮咬茶葉,茶樹在自我防禦時會釋放出一種化合物,其風味與桃子相似,令人驚豔。Mike 在一次台灣之行中親眼觀察到茶樹的防禦反應,他覺得這個非凡的植物學過程非常迷人。

The twisted leaves brew up a darker, more honeyed cup than I expected from an oolong, and that late June harvest gives it a depth that’s hard to find elsewhere. My first steep was a little strong, but once I dialed back the water temp it turned silky and rich.
The later June harvest really shows in the depth here, and I love how the twisted leaves hold up for multiple steeps without turning bitter. There's a quiet, steady sweetness that builds with each rinse, exactly the kind of complexity you want in a slow afternoon cup.
The twisted leaves unfurl beautifully in a glass pot, and that later June harvest really gives it a mellow depth I don't get from balled oolongs. Even the third steep holds its character, which is rare for me.
