Description

This high mountain green oolong comes from one of Taiwan’s best known tea growing areas, Li Shan (梨山). It is a lightsome yet truly dynamic tea. It has a creamy taste of greenness with a hint of honey and vanilla. Its flowery fragrance evokes fresh acacia that returns with the fresh, grape-like aftertaste. Strong and well-structured tea with a lively chaqi.

Li Shan has altitude ranging from 1600 to 2600 meters above sea level and is amongst the best-known tea-growing areas in Taiwan. The cooler air of the mountain is not only beneficial for tea plantations but also for pear growing, hence its name Li Shan (梨山), that is Pear Mountain. Instead of the usual 5-6% water content, our friend leaves only 3% in the processed leaves so that they can be better stored and consumed in the long run.
