Premium Taiwan High Mountain Oolong Tea

Taiwanese High-Mountain Oolong Tea is a prestigious and unique variety of tea that originates from the high-altitude regions of Taiwan. Known for its exquisite aroma, full-bodied flavor, and rich taste, this tea is a prized possession among tea enthusiasts worldwide.

Produced primarily in the mountainous areas of Taiwan, particularly in regions like Ali Shan, Lugu, and Nantou, High-Mountain Oolong Tea grows at elevations ranging from 800 to 2,600 meters above sea level. These mountainous climates, characterized by cool temperatures, abundant cloud cover, and fertile soil, create an ideal environment for cultivating tea leaves with distinct flavors and aromas.

The production of High-Mountain Oolong Tea involves a complex process known as semi-oxidation, where the tea leaves undergo a controlled level of oxidation—somewhere between green and black tea—to develop its signature characteristics. This meticulous process includes withering, shaking or rolling to initiate oxidation, fixing to halt oxidation at a desired level, and finally drying and firing to enhance its aroma and flavor.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Taiwanese High-Mountain Oolong Tea is its complex and layered aroma. Notes of honey, peach, and floral fragrances often dominate its scent profile, making it an extremely captivating experience for the senses. Its taste is equally as impressive, offering a harmonious blend of sweetness, slight bitterness, and a lasting finish that leaves a lingering impression.
