Shan Lin Xi

$15.00 USD

Shan Lin Xi is always a special treat in the line up of Taiwanese oolongs. They are a little bit of everything. This high mountain tea from central Taiwan has the creaminess of a Jinxuan, the heady floral of an Alishan and the depth & fruitiness of a good Lishan. Apricot, roses and cherries.
