Alishan Oolong Tea is a typical example of Taiwan High Mountain Tea, produced in the Da Ali Mountain area of Jiayi County, which encompasses some 25 peaks over 2,000 metres in height, the tallest being Datashan (2,663m). There are two types of Alishan Oolong Tea: Jinxuan Oolong Tea and Qingxin Oolong Tea. Our typical Alishan Oolong Tea is a Jinxuan Oolong Tea.
Our Alishan Jinxuan Oolong Tea leaves are hemispherical in appearance, very tight and knotted; they are usually between dark green and yellowish green in colour. The tea soup is bright yellow or honey golden and the taste is rich and complex, combining a strong milky flavour with that lingering aftertaste. There is also a slight flavour of honey-scented incense. The tea feels smooth in the mouth, with an elegant, delicate and long-lasting aroma.

-Detailed processes:
The Da Ali Mountain area is famous not only for its scenery, but also for its tea. The tea produced here is regarded as the best oolong tea in Taiwan. The reason is that the climate is cold, with much cloud cover and fog in the morning and at night, and the average day is short; this comes together to mean the bitter substances contained in tea buds and leaves are reduced while the sweeter flavours increase. Furthermore, due to the large temperature differences between day and night, the tea tree grows more slowly, which leads to thicker layers of mesophyll in the tea leaves and higher pectin content. This gives Alishan Oolong Tea an almost endless sweet aftertaste. Because the tea trees here are mostly irrigated with mountain spring water, Alishan Oolong Tea has a very special, cold mountain aroma.

Exactly why I love this style of tea – mellow but strong at the same time. Makes me think I’ve added honey even when I haven’t!
