The Origins Of Our Four Season Oolong Loose Leaf Tea

One of the most famous Taiwanese Oolongs, so named because of the Si Ji Chun cultivars ability to produce an exquisite quality tea leaf throughout the four seasons of the year, is a wonderfully sweet mountain tea with a complex flavour. Featuring a medium to high caffeine level and tasting something between a green and a black tea, the infusion from this exceptional loose leaf tea is perfect for those who are new to Oolongs, or wish to discover a different everyday classic that is affordable in comparison to some teas within this category.

Our single-origin Four Season Oolong tea leaves begin life on a tea plant within a farm situated within the second smallest township in Taiwan; Mingtan. Falling within the only landlocked county of Taiwan, Nantou, the farm sits at an elevation of 350m above sea level and to produce this tea, tea leaves are plucked from the plant in Spring. Once complete, they will be withered, then left to cool, tossed, fixed by heat, rolled and dried. The result of this laboured process is a collection of tightly rolled leaf pellets that are dark green and brown. Once steeped, this oxidised Oolong imparts a beautiful light-yellow hue. On the nose, the aroma from the brew is floral, with notes of freshly roasted nuts. The mouthfeel is buttery, light and creamy with a floral bouquet and clean aftertaste.

Alternatives to this Taiwanese loose leaf tea

This tea is perfect cold-brewed for those who like to experiment or intend to enjoy this tea on a warm day. Alternatively, our Tie Guan Yin, or Iron Goddess of Mercy, is a luxury Oolong that comes from Fujian Province, China, and brings with it a similar, yet more refined, experience.

Region

Nantou County, Taiwan

Nantou, located in the heart of Taiwan, is the island's most mountainous region, boasting 41 peaks, including Mount Yu, the highest at 3,952m. The county is predominantly covered by hills and mountains, making up 83% of its landscape. Amidst these peaks lie numerous ponds and lakes, including the renowned Sun Moon Lake, a cherished scenic spot. Nantou's diverse elevation leads to a range of climates, from humid subtropical (Cfa) in the lower areas to temperate oceanic (Cfb) on the higher peaks.

In the valleys and lower hills, winter temperatures range from 12°C to 22°C, while summer brings 25°C to 33°C, with wet, overcast, and oppressive days. Winters are milder and clearer, with a calm breeze year-round. The higher elevations experience more intense weather, with stronger winds, steady precipitation, and lower temperatures, often seeing snow from December to April. Fog is also a frequent occurrence, adding to the dramatic beauty of the peaks. This variation in climate and elevation supports a rich diversity of habitats, featuring plant and animal species ranging from tropical to alpine, making Nantou a biodiversity hotspot and an important region for ecological and agricultural activities, including tea cultivation.
