Brewing, origin and taste notes
Brewing
- Process
- 5 ግራም ለ500 ሚሊ ሊትር፣ በማቀዝቀዣ ውስጥ 8-10 ሰዓታት። የላቀ ውጤት – "ክሪስታላይን" ንጽህናው ሙሉ በሙሉ ይገለጣል።

- Soil
- Mountain soils with high organic matter and mineral content. Good natural drainage on steep slopes.
- Topography
- Northern slopes of the Lishan mountain range. Steep, often terraced plantations on narrow strips of land between rocks.
Taste
- Dry Leaf Appearance
- Tightly rolled semi-spheres, from emerald-green to dark green, with luster. Larger than average — high-mountain leaves are more fleshy. Tips with white down.
- Liquor Aroma
- Rich, floral, sweetish. Cream, fruits, honey. Persistent and "alive" — aroma lingers on gaiwan lid for minutes.
- Liquor Color
- Light yellow, golden-green with barely perceptible pearlescent sheen. Transparent, clear.
- Spent Leaves
- Whole, large, elastic leaves of emerald-green color. Fleshy — sign of high-mountain raw material.

- Alkaloids
- Moderate caffeine (~20–25 mg/g). Slightly below average.
- Amino Acids
- Record high L-theanine content — one of the most "amino acid-rich" Taiwanese oolongs. Basis of sweetness, umami and relaxing effect.
- Essential Oils
- Linalool, nerol, geraniol (floral notes); α-pinene (coniferous "mountain" note — characteristic of northern slopes). High concentration of essential oils.
- Polyphenols
- Content lower than in low-altitude oolongs — cold and northern exposure slow synthesis. Minimal astringency.
