Tasting Notes: Grassy + Nutty + Chrysanthemum + Honeysuckle
With a delicate floral aroma and umami green notes, Qin Xing delivers a perfectly balanced cup that captures the essence of Taiwanese terroir. Lightly oxidized and carefully rolled, each sip reveals layers of subtle, lingering delight that invites reflection and calm.
This exquisite tea was personally selected by The Tea Bar’s founder during her travels to the heart of Taiwan’s tea-growing regions. This tasty oolong comes from the garden of Ling Susu, a devoted independent tea farmer whose passion for craftsmanship shine through in every leaf.
