Morning Breeze № 20 (Green Tea)

Facts

This wild green tea originates from Hsinchu, where tea trees were left untended in the wilderness for eight years before being discovered by the tea artisan. The leaves were harvested for the first time, resulting in exceptionally rich content and flavor. Made from the Qingxin Damao cultivar, primarily grown in northern Taiwan, this tea exhibits a fuller, more robust aftertaste than typical green teas. The land was developed for housing a year after this first harvest, making this tea an extremely rare, one-time seasonal offering.

The first sip delivers a silky, gelatinous texture and an exceptional sweetness, followed by the rich intensity of fresh green tea flavors that gently dissolve. Simple yet profound, it evokes the sensation of standing before a tree, in dialogue with the forest.
