High Mountain Tea

High Mountain Oolong from Taiwan is highly prized and world-renowned for its unique flavor profile, terroir, and craftsmanship.

01

🌿 Grown at High Altitudes (1,000–2,600 meters)

Our tea regions: Alishan (1000~1800 meters)
Cool temperatures, misty climate, and big day-night temperature swings slow leaf growth.
Result: tender leaves with high aromatic compounds and smooth texture.

02

🎎 Traditional Craftsmanship

Our tea is from the Chiayi County Alishan Alpine Excellent Tea Award Winner.
Hand-picked, usually only the bud and top two leaves.
Skillful light roasting or unroasted versions preserve the mountain character.
Carefully rolled into tight balls, which unfurl during steeping.

★★★★★

I love high mountain oolong because it tastes pure, smells heavenly, feels luxurious, and reflects nature and craftsmanship in every cup.

Flavor Note

☁️Signature notes: orchid, osmanthus, lily, gardenia, with hints of milk or butter
Light oxidation (15–30%) preserves freshness while enhancing complexity.
The fragrance is layered and lingers even after multiple infusions.
🍑 Thick, Sweet, and Silky Mouthfeel
Naturally sweet, often described as creamy, honeyed, or even fruity (peach, pear).
Balanced bitterness and a lasting hui gan (returning sweetness in the throat).

☕ Moderate Caffeine

High Mountain Oolong has less caffeine than coffee and most green teas ((20–50 mg per cup). Its caffeine content is usually moderate, depending on factors like:
Elevation: Higher-grown leaves tend to have lower caffeine, as slow growth reduces caffeine buildup.
Harvest time: Spring teas usually have slightly more caffeine than winter ones.
Brewing style: A short gongfu-style infusion will extract less caffeine per cup than long Western-style steeping.
