This is a Summer Harvest tea from the highest tea region in Shanlinxi, a famous high mountain region for tea production. This Shanlinxi Qing Xin Oolong was bitten by an indigenous insect widely known as the "tea green leaf-hopper." Like our "<a href="http://taiwanoolongs.com/collections/2015-summer-oolong-teas/products/hong-shui-mi-xiang-certified-organic-oolong-tea-summer-2015">Special Selected Nectar Aroma Oolong</a>", this tea is oxidated heavily compared to the normal High Mountain Oolong to bring out that special "bug bitten" taste. 
 
The result is a pungent fruity aroma that will explode directly from your teapot and tea cup, with the body is extremely mellow and silky. This tea will be an extremely high-end material for icy milk tea that an old dog already tried, it will also goes well with our "<a href="http://taiwanoolongs.com/collections/anta-pottery/products/anta-pottery-celadon-echo-of-summer-tea-set">Echo of Summer Tea Set</a>". This is a glorious tribute to the Summer of 2015.

The pungent "pomelo" (柚子) aroma will grab your attention immediately and make you drink it sip after sip. It reminds me as a beautiful sunset with the comfortable breeze.  And as mentioned above, an old dog already made an ice milk tea with this lovely oolong and it is just unbelievably tasty.
