Ching Jung Hehuanshan Oolong – Winter 2025 Harvest

Ching Jung Hehuanshan Oolong – Winter 2025 Harvest
Grown by Xingzhongrui Tea | Roasted by the Ching Jung FamilyFrom the slopes of Taiwan’s Hehuanshan mountains comes a rare and refined oolong—a tea that captures the stillness of misty mornings and the crystalline clarity of winter light.

Grown in the highlands by Xingzhongrui Tea, this offering comes from a first-class tea-making team who oversee every step—cultivating, picking, and crafting with one goal in mind: to draw forth the sweetness that lingers in the throat. That gentle, lasting hui gan—“aftertaste”—is their signature, and it glows in every cup.

Once harvested, the tea is entrusted to the Ching Jung roasting family—sweet friends and master craftsmen known for their devotion to purity and refinement. Their light roast preserves the vibrant character of this mountain-grown leaf, allowing the full elegance of Hehuanshan to shine through.

The broth is a radiant golden hue—clear and vibrant, like morning light catching on alpine stone. The aroma is pure and bright. The body—silky and smooth. On the palate, it offers a delicate yet complex floral note with the slightest lift of astringency that lingers well past the last sip. It opens with grace, then rises—expansive, alive, and unmistakably high mountain in spirit.

This is a shining example of Taiwanese mountain oolong done right. Honestly, the quality of this tea far exceeds its price—an offering that feels like a quiet secret. This was the tea that made me fall deeply in love with lightly roasted high mountain oolongs, and the one that led me back to explore more of what the Ching Jung family had to share.

I truly love working with them. They are kind, generous people who care deeply about what they do—always focused on offering the cleanest, highest-grade tea possible. And it shows in every cup.
