Grown in lofty elevations where the tea plants are blanketed in a sea of clouds (雲海 yun hai) every morning, this outstanding Alishan High Mountain Oolong tea is fresh, vegetal and floral with a buttery texture. It is custom-made to be slightly more roasted than most Alishan oolongs, to suit the preference of our customers.

Every sip of this tea is imbued with mountain essence (山頭氣), instantly transporting you to the misty mountainous region of Alishan, Taiwan. It’s as if the leaves carry the crisp highland air of their birthplace with them, releasing it into the water as they unfurl bit by bit with every infusion.

Our Alishan High Mountain Oolong is sourced from a small family-run farm in Shizhuo 石卓 at an elevation of 1680m—the highest in the Alishan region. At that altitude, the climate is cool and wet and the tea takes longer to grow. This results in thicker leaves rich in vitamins and minerals and an incredibly nuanced flavour profile. 

This tea is produced in small batches and processed entirely by hand.
