Taiwan Lishan High-Mountain Oolong Tea 台湾梨山高山高冷茶
Lishan High-Mountain Oolong Tea (Taiwan)
Taste the crisp, misty essence of Taiwan’s highest peaks with this extraordinarily sweet and buttery artisan oolong.
Overview
Our Lishan (Pear Mountain) Oolong is an ultra-premium high-mountain tea (Gao Shan Cha) harvested from the pristine, cloud-shrouded peaks of Taiwan at altitudes above 2,000 meters.
Due to freezing night temperatures and abundant morning mist, the tea leaves grow slowly, locking in high concentrations of amino acids. This unique terroir creates an exceptionally smooth, sweet, and low-bitterness tea that represents the pinnacle of Taiwanese oolong craftsmanship.
