About this tea
Four Seasons Spring is lightly oxidized, tightly rolled, ball-shaped oolong tea that is harvested twice each year in Taiwan's central highlands. Made from the Si Ji Chun, ("Four Seasons Spring") cultivar, Jade Oolong has a golden-green, medium-bodied infusion with a very floral, long-lasting aromatic complexity evocative of fresh gardenia, freesia blossoms and tropical fruit. Grown at elevations of 500-850 meters above sea level in the Mingjian Village of Nantou, Taiwan.
