Alishan Oolong Tea is one of Taiwan’s most renowned teas, celebrated for its unique flavor and exceptional quality. Grown in the Alishan tea region at elevations above 1,000 meters, it benefits from a distinctive terroir that imparts its signature characteristics. As a semi-fermented tea, Alishan Oolong is carefully crafted to preserve both its floral aroma and mellow, smooth taste, delivering a pronounced “mountain charm.”

Key Features:
• Superior Terroir: The high-altitude Alishan region is shrouded in mist with wide diurnal temperature variations. This slows leaf growth, thickens the leaves, and increases pectin content—resulting in distinctive flavor and texture.
• Semi-Fermentation: Lightly fermented, Alishan Oolong balances between green and black tea, preserving freshness while offering refined sweetness.
• Aroma & Taste: Elegant and fresh with orchid and fruity notes. Smooth and sweet with a lingering aftertaste and excellent rebrewability.
• Liquor Appearance: Honey-green with a golden sheen, bright and vivid.
• Cultivars: Primarily Qingxin Oolong and Jinxuan. Qingxin offers a rich and elegant taste; Jinxuan brings a signature milky aroma and silkier texture.

Harvest Seasons & Plucking:
• Harvested year-round, with the best quality from spring (late March to early May) and winter (late October to late November).
• Mostly hand-picked using the “one bud, two leaves” standard to ensure tenderness and integrity.

Brewing Instructions:
1. Prepare teaware (teapot, fairness cup, tasting cups), hot water, and a suitable amount of Alishan Oolong leaves.
2. Preheat the teaware to enhance aroma and flavor.
3. Add tea leaves (adjust according to preference).
4. Pour hot water (90–95°C), steep for 30–60 seconds.
5. Pour into the fairness cup and distribute evenly into tasting cups.
6. Sip slowly to enjoy the aroma and evolving taste.

Alishan Oolong Tea stands as a quintessential Taiwanese tea, highly regarded by tea connoisseurs worldwide.
