Nostalgia and sweetness are the 2 driving forces that make the Christmas season such an emotional time of the year. It connects us to our childhood memories, because the unwrapping of Christmas gifts under the decorated pine tree was the high point of the year. And it came with lots of Christmas cookies, bûches de Noël, doughnuts (beignets), roasted chestnuts... This high mountain Oolong from RuiFeng brings the same feeling!
It comes from the birthplace of high mountain Oolongs. It didn't start a new religion, but this new type of Oolong became cult and branched out in other countries, spreading the gospel of freshness and sweet energy! And since Alishan is home to most high mountain Oolong producers in Taiwan, this taste of this tea is also the most familiar one if you have been drinking Gao Shan Cha in Taiwan in the last 20 or 30 years.I already mentioned the second reason why this Oolong is a good match for the Christmas season: its sweet energy! The combination of the Alishan terroir, the spring sun and the light Oolong process produces a tea that packs wonderful butter and flowery notes with a mellow roundness and a nice energy. It's a great way to start a cloudy and cool December day! Alishan Qingxin Oolong has become a classic! I sip a cup and can feel the Christmas mood!
