The tradition of Taiwanese oolongs is relatively young – the oldest of them, Dung Ding, is not more than 150-180 years old. In addition, the main representatives of the “Golden Crown of Taiwan” (Li Shan, A-Li Shan, Da Yu Ling) are creations from the second half of the 20th century. In the same way, the tea made from the Si Ji Chun cultivar bearing the same name is really young. The vast majority of Taiwanese teas are produced by machine in factories, and only a certain part can bear the adjective ‘shou zi – handmade art’, ie teas harvested and produced only by hand. Such teas are, in a sense, a rarity and are usually considerably more expensive than machine-made conventional oolongs of daily consumption.
Si Ji Chun
“Spring all year round” – The aroma of dry tea is strong and deep, the infusion smells wonderful, very distinctive but clean and gentle. The real Si Ji Chun always has a strong scent, so strong that it fills the whole room.
Its taste is reminiscent of alpine oolongs – sour-sweet with tones of berries, raspberries, lemons, limes, honey and mountain flowers and of course orchids!
Tea aftertaste is very long and clean. Tea has an excellent refreshing and relaxing effect, it will lift your mood. Like any quality oolong, it is good for blood circulation, blood vessels and also fights aging.

In this way, the tea acquires the aroma of jasmine, but still retains its original taste. Jasmine tea is light and pleasant. "White King" itself is a relatively high-quality green tea with rich fluff, but the addition of jasmine further improves its quality.
The white king we provide is mixed with fresh autumn jasmine in a ratio of 4:1 (gradually use 4 kg of jasmine per 1 kg of tea).
