Si Ji Chun Oolong Tea, the name translates as "Everlasting Spring", is a tea varietal developed in Taiwan during the 1990s. As the name, Si Ji Chun is fast-growing and the strong bushes can be harvested 4-5 times a year. It is processed in half-ball style. The smooth fresh floral aromas distinguishes Si Ji Chun from other light fermented Oolongs, and makes it a best choice for Oolong beginners. Lugu Si Ji Chun is grown in Lugu area with altitude of 1600 meters.
