Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea | Eco-Cha Tea Club

December 18, 2024

Batch 109 of the Eco-Cha Tea Club is a Tie Guan Yin Oolong spring 2024 harvest from Muzha, Taiwan. The photo above was taken on one our first visits to our source of Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea many years ago. We have continuously sourced our TGY from this artisan, and have become friends in the process.

Award Winning Wenshan Baozhong Tea Tasting Notes | Eco-Cha Tea Club

July 21, 2023

We had tasted and procured this batch of tea before it was entered into the New Taipei City Farmers' Association spring 2023 competition. We later learned that it achieved "Youliang" (優良獎) Award — placing it in the top 50% among 1576 total entries.

Competition Grade Wenshan Baozhong Tea Tasting Notes | Eco-Cha Tea Club

July 11, 2022

This month's edition of the Eco-Cha Tea Club is a Competition Grade Wenshan Baozhong Tea made from spring 2022 harvest. This batch won an award in the local competition, although not as prestigious as last spring's entry — which won Top Category Prize (within the top 2 % of all entries). Our friend from whom we source this tea said that the tea judge was a newbie, and it's hard to know how they will rate the teas.

Batch 80 of the Eco-Cha Tea Club is a Competition Grade Wenshan Baozhong Tea from spring 2022 harvest. We sourced this batch at the same time we sourced our in store stock of spring Baozhong. While were tasting the different days of harvest, our friend told us that he will enter this batch into the local competition. We promptly asked if he had enough to share with us, and he did!

Competition Grade Wenshan Baozhong Tea brewed on table

Competition Grade Wenshan Baozhong Tea Tasting Notes | Eco-Cha Tea Club

February 12, 2021

Batch 63 of the Eco-Cha Tea Club was harvested in November 2020, processed, and then sorted to remove stem material and any discolored leaves in preparation for the winter 2020 competition and the New Taipei City Farmers's Association.

The distinctive quality of Baozhong Tea is that the leaves are shuffled well to induce uniform oxidation, but they are only minimally rolled. This keeps their physical composition in tact. The leaves are not damaged by pressure rolling. This locks in a fresh, green quality that put Baozhong Tea in a category of its own.

Competition Grade Wenshan Baozhong Tea | Eco-Cha Tea Club

February 12, 2021

Upon arrival, we were immediately led to the tasting table where there were two bowls of brewed tea leaves on the tea tray with less than 30mL of cold tea in each. We were ordered to taste them without any introduction to what they were. We immediately recognized them as freshly produced Baozhong Tea of high quality, but there was only enough left for two small sips. After first sip, we were told that one of them was much more expensive than the other, and then asked which one we liked. We took the second sip and picked one, saying that it was a bit more fragrant, and were met with a scowl and a sigh. It was the most honest facial expression we've seen in ages. The expression above was probably 10 minutes after that moment, but still holds some of the humor and angst!

Pingling Qin Xin Black Tea dried leaves

Pinglin Qin Xin Black Tea Tasting Notes | Eco-Cha Tea Club

July 15, 2020

Batch #56 of the Eco-Cha Tea Club is a Pinglin Qing Xin Black Tea — summer 2019 harvest, from the same source as last month's edition of award winning Wenshan Baozhong Tea. This is the first batch of Black Tea we have sourced from the Pinglin region in northern Taiwan, and it is further supporting evidence of the fact that high quality tea can be made from low to mid-elevation farms. We were lucky to have sourced the remainder of two consecutive days of last summer's harvest that were combined to provide just enough to be shared with the Eco-Cha Tea Club! Black Tea reaches it peak of quality after at least one year of aging.

Pinglin Qin Xin Black Tea | Eco-Cha Tea Club

July 12, 2020

Batch #56 of the Eco-Cha Tea Club is a Black Tea made from the Qing Xin cultivar, grown in the Pinglin tea growing region in northern Taiwan. This Black Tea is made by the same artisan tea maker who made the top 5% award-winning Baozhong Tea we offered as Batch #55 of the Eco-Cha Tea Club. His spring and winter crops are made into Wenshan Baozhong tea, for which his family has a legacy, and his summer crops are made into high-grade Black Tea.
