An Elevated Experience

Among Clouds is a winter-pluck Wu Long cha grown in the High Mountains. Sourced from the high heights of Ren Ai Township, this tea was made from the Qing Xin Ruan Zhi cultivar, known for its reliable usage in a variety of styles throughout Taiwan, including in Dong Ding and Baozhong. Nantou County is a remarkable place — roads twist through the mountains and tea farms overlook stunning vistas. Those familiar with the High-Muntain Wu Long from this region may be in for a treat if they have never experienced a winter-pluck batch of leaves. The flavors — sweeter, richer, dryer — offer a remarkable case study for how seasonality affects the drinking experience.
