Shan Lin Xi High Mountain Oolong Fall 2020

September 02, 2020

High Mountain Hong Shui Oolong Tea Tasting Notes | Eco-Cha Tea Club

December 08, 2017

This month's batch of tea being shared with the Eco-Cha Tea Club is a heavily oxidized, unroasted Oolong Tea harvested from the lower lying slopes of the Shanlinxi region.
