The altitude and mountain mist provide the low temperature and proper humidity to allow the leaves to develop slowly and remain tender. The weather is very cold, and even in Summer the temperature is only 20°C, if without sun. Even in the winter, it is almost 0 degree. So, the tea trees grown in cold, cloud and mist environment.

The tea's aroma is notably floral, with hints of orchid and lilac, which can be quite enticing. However, the taste can be somewhat elusive, with a delicate mix of vegetal and grassy notes that may not offer the depth and complexity desired by those seeking a more robust oolong.
Steeping methods and time play a significant role in revealing the tea's potential, and experimenting with these variables may lead to a more satisfying cup. While Zhu Lu Oolong may not be an immediate favorite for everyone, it provides an opportunity for exploration and refinement of one's tea-tasting palate.
