Hsieh Jiang Lin Tea Company

Season: 2023
Elevation: 1000m

This tea was grown in the Hsieh Jiang Lin Tea Garden in DalunShan tea growing area at around 1000m. Unlike most high mountain tea that is processed as oolong, this tea is processed as black tea. This tea has a pleasant honey sweet aroma, and a smooth rich flavour with hints of malt and caramel and a pleasant lingering sweetness without any astringency. This tea was hand picked and processed in summer 2023.


BREWING METHODS


Kung Fu Brewing
Warm the teapot or gaiwan by adding hot water and then pouring it out.
Add around 5g of tea for every 100ml of water. Begin by adding the loose tea to the teapot or gaiwan.
Pour hot water into the vessel. We recommend using water at 90C. After the water in the kettle has come to a boil and settled, it can be left standing in the kettle for around 5 minutes before being used.
Tea can be rinsed quickly with hot water. This first rinse helps to open up the tea for its first brew. This first rinse is optional.
The tea can be steeped multiple times. We recommend the following steeping time per brew, but we also recommend extending or shortening the steeping time depending on preference for a stronger or weaker brew.
Steeping times:
1st :30s → 2nd: 35s → 3rd-5th:40s → 6th +:60s
 
Western Method
Warm up the teapot with hot water.
Add around 3g of tea to a teapot with a capacity of 300-500ml.
Pour hot water into the vessel. We recommend using water at 90C. After the water in the kettle has come to a boil and settled, it can be left standing in the kettle for around 5mins before being used.
Cover and steep for 3-5 minutes.

Cold Brewing Method
Add 1 tsp for a 500ml thermos.
Add cold or room temperature water to the thermos.
Seal the lid and place the thermos in a refrigerator. We recommend leaving the thermos for at least 2-3 hours. Thermos can be put into the refrigerator to steep overnight. If refilling, we recommend topping up the water before the volume falls half-way to keep the tea flavourful.

This is my first Taiwanese black tea and it did not disappoint. The tea has a strong sweet smell but is not overpowering taste-wise. It is definitely worth a try!
