Our best of the best. Mountain Crown Reserve is the top tin in the lineup, the bud-and-first-leaves pluck a tea-literate Chinese household seals for guests and the cup that closes a careful meal. Same Nantou gardens as our Signature and Daily, but at the smallest, tightest cluster at the very top of the bush, the pluck of a true first-grade lot.

The cup pours pale jade with a clear orchid lift, a quiet bake underneath, and a hui gan (回甘) that returns sweet in the throat a full minute after the last sip. Cool-night growth at altitude concentrates L-theanine and the rare partial-oxidation polyphenol theasinensin, the chemistry behind the calm-alert mouthfeel a serious gao shan drinker reaches for.

  • Origin: Central Taiwan, Nantou County, Spring and Winter flushes
  • Tasting: Floral, Roasted, Sweet
  • Brew: 85 to 90°C, 3g per 150ml, 45s first steep, +15s each
