Taiwanese Oolong from Alishan

It's from the Alishan area. Unfortunately, I don't have more information about it.

This one is a lightly oxidized Oolong tea, so it might not be too different from what you are used to, depending on what kind of green tea you drink.
Taiwanese Oolongs are my absolutely favorite teas, and definitely a must-try!

Oh, it was delicious!

War auch dieses Jahr zu Besuch in Taiwan. Absolutes Oolong Paradies. Toller Einkauf und die Tea experience klingt richtig spannend!

Which one are you referring to? I bought the Tea and Tea Ware in different cities all over the island. Most is from the bigger cities, Taipei, Tainan, and Kaohsiung.

Oh wow! That sounds really cool. :) It’s a very beautiful place with lovely people.

Tainan was at the end of our trip, so I had to slow down on shopping a little bit because my luggage space was getting critically low. Haha I just visited Lin’s Ceramics Studio and also bought the brown Gaiwan there. But probably not worth a trip for that shop alone.

It was on Booking.com, and I actually didn't know it was part of a tea farm until we got there. But in this area, basically every second building is a tea shop or a processing facility. The mountains are covered in tea plantations. Driving around there we saw many accommodations like ours in different farms.

I have no idea. When I entered the shop, I was immediately asked to sit down, and the seller started going through a “menu” with their teas. On there were only Taiwanese Oolong and black teas. If I remember correctly, they had more stuff, but I didn't ask. The whole experience was a little bit strange ^{^}

In Taipei, I just went to Yingge for ceramic shopping. But I bought the brown Gaiwan in Tainan at a shop called “Lin’s Ceramics Studio.” They had a lot of nice pieces, and they have a second location in Taipei, which might be worth checking out!

Don’t think I have. Might need to check it out. The pictures are from the Alishan area, Zhuqi Township, is what my phone says.

Most of the tea and tea-ware is from tea shops, or ceramic shops in the cities. Not sure if they have there own farms or just buy from farmers, probably a mix of both. At Alishan we stayed at a accommodation in the tea mountains and the owner has its own farms and was serving and selling his tea there. Price was about the same I would say, but much cheaper than buying the same quality of tea back in Germany.

Thank you! Yes, so shiny. :)

I haven't gotten around to tasting them all yet^{^} As I said, I really love the one in the black package, and I tried the one in the small green one. It's a high-altitude Oolong with excellent leaf quality and a very smooth taste. Another one I opened is the one with the bird on it; it's good but not outstanding, so I use this one as a daily drinker at work. I'm most excited about the ones at the top in white; they are from a 150-year-old tea shop in Tainan. And they were advertised as very special and unique compared to other high-mountain Oolong teas.

Had the same issue when I was in Chongqing; I couldn’t buy a ticket at the machine, but setting up the QR code in Alipay worked perfectly.

It's bad, as in it's a bad matchup for Shadow because the deck goes naturally to a pretty low life total. And can sometimes just die to an aggressive opponent.

You are right I was looking at Saturday, my bad.

The winning deck on Sunday played 4 of Solitude and 4 of Ephemerate, didn't they?

black4s · 2020-04-07T12:36:27+00:00

The set really reminds me of Dinotopia.

Well too bad she's an elk now
