Cultivar : Heritage Wuyi Cultivar : this cultivar was originally planted around Taipei before spreading further. It fell out of favour as it is not as flowery or exuberant as other cultivars [a profile favoured in Taiwanese teas] so only a few growers now continue with it. It is not as generous in yield but makes fabulous high oxidised teas.
Plucking standard : Hand-Picked, from 2 up to 4 leaves
Processing : Traditional low oxidation (higher than the modern green style type oolongs) and then multi-step baked
Plucked and processed on site
