Alishan is famous for its superior high-mountain oolong teas. The unique misty climate and fertile soil of the region create ideal conditions for growing premium tea leaves.

Our Alishan Oolong Tea (2024 Prize Winner) directly came out of the Meishan Farmer's Association after the spring tea competition.

This outstanding batch of Alishan Oolong Tea is truly our favourite - The dry tea leaves have a jade green color, emits a subtle corn and barley aroma. The tea liquor comes with a smooth and round texture with a noticeable “high mountain aroma”, a Taiwanese local term used to describe the special aroma in fresh and superior high-mountain teas. The depth of scents and rounded mouthfeel left us a remarkable experience compared to any Alishan oolong teas we tried this year.

Behind This Tea

This Alishan oolong came from the core tea production region - Meishan a.k.a “The mountain of plums” in Mandarin, one of the regions producing the highest quality High-Mountain Oolongs among other townships.

Our tea are not only from single garden but also single cultivar: using the renowned cultivar Chin Shin oolong (青心烏龍). This cultivar is very suitable to grow in high altitude and lower temperature, also known for its delicate and soft fragrant while leaving a strong after sweetness and rounded mouthfeel.
