Hailing from Taiwan, ‘Ruanzhi’ is foundational high mountain oolong stock. Its bouquet is pronounced and elegant and its taste creamy and smooth. As a white tea process, you can appreciate the variety and its expression of terroir. This particular lot was born from Spirit Tea’s Cross Strait Collaboration–a meeting of the Luos–it was grown on the Fengqing farms of preservation and ecologically minded Yunnan Mr. Luo (Sunstone) and processed there by decorated, fastidious Taiwanese master Mr. Luo (Exuding Jade). Realizing the mission similarities of the makers, we broached the idea with the two, sponsored the travel, and commissioned select, exclusive lots.
