{"product_id":"86k-high-mountain-oolong-2025-winter","title":"86K High Mountain Oolong 2026 Spring","description":"\u003cp\u003eRefined, lush and aromatically complex, this tea hails from Fushou Shan. Fushoushan and Dayuling are the two highest elevation tea growing regions in the Lishan range. Although Da Yu Ling can be fantastic, it is also unpredictable, and we find that Fushou teas are generally more consistently excellent year over year. This tea we named 86K because that is how they break up these super high elevation gardens in Fushou and Dayuling : the kilometer marker on the Central Cross-Island Highway. Before about 90K is considered Fushou Shan these days, and after is Dayuling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow is what I wrote about the Winter batch. This Spring tea is also from the same garden, and is also absolutely fantastic. It can similarly be described as a princess. Majestic, charming, proud and elegant. Notes also hover around pomelo with lots of pristine little tinkling flower notes. What I would say is different is it leans a bit more luscious and effusive - the taste of Spring! The tea just arrived on the plane from Taiwan, and we wanted to get it published by our promised release date but I will come back to write a more in depth review soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt took me many attempts before I felt like I was ready to write the description for this tea. It is incredibly detailed but also reserved. I had to ask it nicely to come out and play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven from the first time I drank it when the sample arrived in a state of 'jet-lag', I could tell it was a luxurious tea with a lot going on underneath the surface. Broth is absolutely fantastic.. Not just plush and soft (the word velvet comes to mind), but lots of little tiny details as the tannins dance around the mouth. It reaches back to the throat and leaves behind an elegant lingering sweetness. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aroma is high and pronounced, dense even, but doesn't scream out to be heard. The most clear note I get is pine, and there's a pomelo citrus note and milk candy down below that. But upon deeper observation layers and layers reveal themselves, although they are fleeting and for me evade exact description. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tea is like a princess. Majestic and proud and refined. Lots of nuances that I feel I'm just beginning to pick up on. It is sensitive, and has taken the longest time to open up of all the winter teas we've chosen this year. I'm looking forward to spending the next few months exploring this tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFacts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvest Location : Lishan, Taichung County, Taiwan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvest Date : May, 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCultivar : Qing Xin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarming Method : Sustainable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAltitude : 2200-2400 Meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Floating Leaves US","offers":[{"title":"25g","offer_id":44720346661071,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"75g","offer_id":44720346693839,"sku":null,"price":53.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/0455\/0607\/files\/fushou25winter.jpg?v=1765577658","url":"https:\/\/floatingleaves.mom\/products\/86k-high-mountain-oolong-2025-winter","provider":"Floating Leaves Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
