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.
Origin: Taiwan
The Wuyi Tiger Roaring Rock Rou Gui is another very famous Wuyi “Rock tea” in addition to the Wuyi Big Red Robe (Da Hong Pao). It is produced from the “Hu Xiao” (Tiger Roaring) Cliff inside the scenic area of Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province.
Our premium Wuyi Rou Gui oolong tea comes from the traditional “Ban Yan” (AKA red siallite soil) tea plantation called “Tiger Roaring Rock Rou Gui”. Nowadays, due to the superior tea growing environment in “Tiger Roaring Rock” area and the continuous improvement of tea processing technology, the quality of the Tiger Roaring Rock Rou Gui is very close to the tea comes from “Zheng Yan” area (AKA purple glutenite soil).
The cinnamon aroma of this premium Wuyi Rou Gui is dominating and aggressive. It has a lightly baked caramel and special rocky flavour. No one who has tasted the tea can deny the charm of the Tiger Roaring Rock Rou Gui. The aggressiveness of the tea in your throat is like an emperor, pioneering the territory, leading your gustation, invading your throat, and establishing his empire.
People love it deeply because of its unusual warm and pleasant long-lasting flavour of pungency.
This premium grade Phoenix Dan Cong comes from the Wu Dong Village, Chao Zhou City, Guang Dong Province. Wu Dong Village is the core area that produces the highest quality of Phoenix Dan Cong oolong tea. The teas that originated here have a unique high mountain charm and are quite rebrew-able.
The yearly yield of this rare Dan Cong is very limited because the picking time is super shot in a year which is just around 3-5 days. This tea belongs to the yellow gardenia type of oolong. This tea is much sweeter than any other yellow gardenia type of ordinary Phoenix Dan Cong teas.
Our charcoal roasted Ti Kwan Yin origins from Anxi County, Fujian province. The technology of making the Charcoal Roasted Tieguanyin is a traditional way of processing semi-fermented Tieguanyin, however, the charcoal roasted Tieguanyin requires an additional 5-12 hours’ baking using wood charcoal.
It gives you a sense of warmth, like relaxing beside the fireplace in the cold winter while listening to the crackling sound of firewood and enjoying a cup of this unique oolong tea.
This premium grade Phoenix Dan Cong comes from the Wu Dong Village, Chao Zhou City, Guang Dong City. In 1995, this aromatic Phoenix Dan Cong was dedicated to Chairman Mao, the former president of China. He really loved it and sent back a thanks note after trying the tea. This tea has then been called ‘Dong Fang Hong’, the literal translation of which is ‘The Red in the East’, and with a free translation of ‘hope’ as Chairman Mao is the one who save thousands of millions of people from a miserable life and lead them to the light.
Wu Dong Village, where the sea level is between 1000 and 1200 metres, is the hometown of high-quality Phoenix Dan Cong. Phoenix Dan Cong produced here is extremely mellow and has a unique high mountain charm. This Phoenix Dan Cong Dong Fang Hong belongs to the yellow gardenia fragrance type. However, it has a much mellower taste and richer combined aroma than the ordinary Phoenix Dan Cong yellow gardenia flavour. Its aroma is full of impressiveness and enchantment.

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!
Jamie M. –
What a delightful tea. Smells wonderful, fresh and light. it’s taste is so delicious. I am a fan of Taiwan Alishan Oolong Tea. After tasting this one, other teas seem to lack the vitality and freshness. Glad that I found this great tea.
