Description

It is difficult to source Mr. Hsieh s tea. Customarily, his harvest is spoken for well in advance. This year, our team was on site in Hualien to purchase a small lot. He calls his autumn harvests smoother, with a sweeter taste and Hsieh is known for his generous solar witherings in production. The combined difficulties of small acreage, irregular bug bite, and an increasingly unpredictable typhoon season make for a dauntingly low yield. Si Ji Chun was selected for this lot over the classical Da Ye cultivar providing a tart and nectary taste, with pleasant plush tannin in the mouthfeel.
