LiShan, Spring

Oolong Tea by The Mountain Tea co

LiShan oolong has become the standard for which all other Formosan oolongs are compared. This late-April pluck yields a sumptuous brew that is rich with floral notes, butter cream, and cane sugar.

This particular crop of LiShan oolong steeps an amazingly flavorful and aromatic cup. LiShan is part of the Jade mountain range, where the highest mountains of Taiwan are found, and is home to some of Taiwan’s best oolong tea producers. The teas are grown enshrouded in mist and receive minimal sunshine. At night, temperatures can drop up to 30°F. These factors contribute to LiShan oolong’s unmatched natural sweetness and unparalleled richness of flavor and aroma.
