Its gently elevated gardens are home to several of Taiwan’s familiar oolong cultivars. This aged tea brings together three of them—Qing Xin, Jin Xuan, and Cui Yu—in a blend harvested in 2008 and set aside for long-term maturation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduced by Chen Yuwen, this tea comes from a family whose experience in baking and roasting spans three generations. The leaves were blended at the beginning, deeply baked, and stored together as a single reserve, allowing the blend to mature as a whole. On 26 December 2025, the tea was gently re-baked in an oven to refresh its aromas while preserving the depth developed during years of ageing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the cup, a pronounced roasted warmth is layered with dried tropical fruit, toasted nuts, and a rich, jam-like sweetness. Subtle spice notes and a gently tangy hint of dried tobacco give the tea a more complex edge. The texture is full and velvety, carrying its sweetness into a long, mellow finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is an oolong for those who enjoy the depth of roasted tea and the quieter complexity of age. Successive infusions offer time to explore the balance between fruit, roast, and mature aromas, with a rounded texture that invites unhurried drinking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProfile:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Dried tropical fruit, roasted nuts, jam-like sweetness, subtle spice, dried tobacco\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Songboling, Baguashan, Nantou County, Taiwan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElevation:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 400 m\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2008\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFarmer:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Chen Yuwen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCultivars:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Qing Xin, Jin Xuan (TTES No. 12), Cui Yu (TTES No. 13)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOxidation:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Medium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoasting:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Deep baking and drum roasting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLast re-baked:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 26 December 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrewing suggestion:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 95–100 °C | 5 g per 100 ml | 30–45 s for the first infusion, adjusting subsequent infusions to taste\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chamber Tea","offers":[{"title":"10","offer_id":62942244503939,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"25","offer_id":62942244536707,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50","offer_id":62942244569475,"sku":null,"price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100","offer_id":62942244602243,"sku":null,"price":35.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.chambertea.com\/et\/products\/2008-songboling-aged-oolong-oolong-tea","provider":"Chamber Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
