Cui Feng High Mountain Oolong Tea Tasting Notes | Eco-Cha Tea Club

Cui Feng High Mountain Oolong Tea Tasting Notes | Eco-Cha Tea Club

October 13, 2019 1 Comment

The prominent features of this batch of tea are the growing region, the farming methods, weather conditions on the day of harvest, and the degree of oxidation in the leaves in their processing. These factors offer us a premium quality High Mountain Oolong Tea.
