Dong Ding Oolong · Wuliang Mountain
冻顶乌龙 · 无量山野放
Qingxin Oolong planted in the Wuliang forest by a Taiwanese tea maker in 1995, at about 2,100–2,300 metres. The wild-grown plants are picked only around twice a year; the tea is more oxidised and roasted than a light oolong, yet keeps a fresh, easygoing character.
The Qingxin plants grow in thirty to forty centimetres of forest humus and, beyond the seedling stage, are neither pruned nor treated with pesticides or fertiliser. The cold, high-altitude garden produces thick leaf rich in flavour. In the cup, a fresh green-tea quality meets the warmth and grain fragrance of the roast, with a clear golden liquor and none of the heavy fertiliser or industrial notes Changshou often finds in ordinary Dong Ding.
