The DaYuLing Tea Gardens are named after their location in kilometers along Highway 8. 100K is one of the few surviving DaYuLing tea gardens. The land at 100K garden had been leased to the farm by the government of Taiwan. The government will reclaim this land and close the farm in the next few years, reforesting the area and returning it to its natural state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amount of tea picked every year in the DaYuLing tea growing area is quite limited. The 100K garden produces only 100-150kg of material each spring, and half of this amount for the winter harvest. This combined with its very high altitude and prized status makes it very special. This tea will only be harvested for a few more years before the garden is closed for good. This tea is a smooth, clean oolong with a wonderfully fresh aroma, sweetness, nice mouthfeel, minerality and lingering aftertaste. The aroma reminds us of spring and cherry blossoms.This tea was hand-picked in Spring 2019.\u003cbr\u003eYou can read more about the 100K Tea Garden \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mudandleaves.com\/teatime-blog\/dayuling-100k-tea-garden\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere, in our blog.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBREWING METHODS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKung Fu Brewing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm the teapot or gaiwan by adding hot water and then pouring it out.\u003cbr\u003eAdd around 5g of tea for every 150ml of water.

The land at 100K garden had been leased to the farm by the government of Taiwan. The government will reclaim this land and close the garden in the next few years, reforesting the area and returning it to its natural state.\u003cbr\u003eThe amount of tea picked every year in the DaYuLing tea growing area is quite limited. The 100K garden produces only 100-150kg of material each spring, and half of this amount for the winter harvest. This combined with its very high altitude and prized status makes it very special. This tea will only be harvested for a few more years before the garden is closed for good. This tea is a smooth, clean oolong with a wonderfully fresh aroma, sweetness, nice mouthfeel, minerality and lingering aftertaste.
