Origin: 300 m.a.s.l., Baguashan, Nantou, Taiwan.

The first infusion is slightly less intense, but already very sweet and a bit spicy — perfect for winter evenings.

The second infusion is even sweeter, the sweetness also lingers in the aroma of the empty cup, the spicy notes fade slightly, and a pleasant hint of vanilla appears.

From the third infusion onward, the taste stabilizes, the sweetness is maintained, and light floral notes join the spicy ones.

The sixth infusion still tastes like tea and can be enjoyed very pleasantly.

Rating: 8.5/10
