Taimali Taifeng High Mountain TeaTaimali Taifeng High Mountain Tea
Flavour
Light fragrance and clean sweetness with high mountain fruit
Taifeng high-mountain tea comes from the Jinzhen Mountain area of Taimali Township, Taitung, at about 650 m. It faces the Pacific, with wide day-night swings and frequent fog; the bush grows slowly and the leaf comes out thick.

What to ask when buying this
This price range is estimated from nearby regions and elevation and has not been verified, so compare for yourself.
Spring and winter lots fetch the highest prices and the best aroma; summer and autumn are a step down in both.
If they will not let you taste but want you to buy 600 g of something expensive, walk away. It is the simplest and most effective filter there is.
A scannable producer record beats any verbal assurance.

Common mistakes with this tea
95°C or above. Too cool and the roast aroma never opens, leaving it flat.
Best drunk within two months.
The most common beginner regret is buying 600 g on the first try. Buy a jin only after you know you like it.
What to eat with it
Glutinous rice clings and the sweetness lingers on the tongue. A tea with some astringency clears it away.
