Four Season Oolong Tea

Four season oolong tea was found by a tea farmer in his tea garden at Mu Zha area in Taipei but not found by TRES. So this is a kind of wild tea. The character is also wild which has a strong vigor. At the time when a farmer went to his farm and notice some s of the tea trees are growing very fast when other tea tree even not have any tea leaf buds. So he planted this tea and found this tea could harvest 7-8 times a year. Even it could be cropped in the late winter time or early winter. So people were given it the name Four Season Oolong. This is just match the character of this tea plant. Because this four season plant yield a large quantity of tea. Therefore more and more tea farmers were start growing this Shi Ji Chun plant since 10 years ago.
