FOUR SEASONS is from the Nantou region of Taiwan and has a very large leaf, similar to many oolongs from Taiwan. It has a smooth sweet flavor and some drinkers detect a sweet potato aftertaste. Four Seasons could be named Four Seasons Spring as it is harvested earlier than most other cultivars. It is a mutation from the Chinsing Oolong cultivar and farmers started to plant them in lower altitude tea gardens. |

English Tealeaves sells over 125 high quality teas that are "cherry picked" from over 15 suppliers who specialize in specific types and countries. This gives us the flexibility to find the best of the best. We also blend around 8 teas ourselves that can't be obtained to our standards. For example our #1 selling tea, English Breakfast is our own blend that we created in 2002.
Our Cafe customers give feedback and we discontinue the ones that get poor ratings. We also look to improve our teas and will replace a standard tea, like say Mango, with a higher quality blend from another supplier.
The teas are selected after evaluation in these seven areas and then the scores are weighted to decide if they qualify for inclusion in our range:
• Dry leaves • Dry aroma • Brewed Infusion Color • Aroma brewed • Taste profile • Iced taste
