Taiwan Li Shan Oolong

Li-Shan, or Pear Mountain, is a part of Taiwan’s Yu-Shan or Jade Mountain range. This area is known for its pears, apples, and peaches, which require a cool temperature all year and high humidity. Li-Shan has the ideal climate required to create one of Taiwan’s finest high mountain oolongs because it sits at 2200 meters above sea level in Taichung County–the county encircled by lush forests that remove impurities from the air! There is no pollution since it sits directly against beautiful greenery that cleanses all uncleanliness away at a height of 2200 meters.

The growth period is lengthy due to the long-term cloud and mist, cold temperature and snow in the winter, as well as thick leaf flesh, which contributes to its rich flavor, sweet taste, fruity taste, honey-green and yellow tea color. When the tea soup cools after brewing, it will condense and sweeten. It’s a treasured Taiwanese high mountain tea.
