Lishan High Mountain Oolong
Gardenia | Pear | Sweet Pea
Grown at elevations over 1,600 meters on the misty slopes of Lishan Mountain in Taichung, Taiwan, this premium oolong is crafted from the Qing Xin cultivar. The cool alpine climate and rich soil allow for slow leaf development, resulting in exceptional aroma and complexity. Hand-harvested in spring and winter, it undergoes light oxidation to preserve its fresh, vibrant character.
This tea brews into a golden-green liquor with a smooth, silky texture. Delicate layers of gardenia, pear, sweet cream, and sweet pea unfold with each sip, accented by a crisp, alpine freshness and a long, elegant finish.
Delicate, refined, and ethereal, Lishan Oolong exemplifies the purity and clarity of high mountain tea. A bright, full-bodied cup that reflects both its pristine origin and the artistry behind its creation.
