From Taiwan Tea Crafts

Lishan teas could very well be the best high mountain teas of Taiwan. The Lishan tea area sits majestically on the central ridge at altitudes ranging from 1500 m to 2400 m The average yearly temperature is below 20 degrees and frost can be experienced in the winter time. Tea grows at a slow pace therefore production is limited to only 2 crops a year. Owing to the particular climate and terroir, Lishan tea is rich in catechin which reduced the bitter and harsh elements in the liquor. The higher theanine and soluble nitrogen content contributes in heightening the compelling exotic sweetness of this tea. It is truly a unique tea coming from a uniquely rich soil and growing in the best natural conditions one can find. This Spring 2014 Lishan comes from an area Called Cui Fong along the Hehuan Shan range and from a garden that sits on the top of it, thus giving it more sunshine. Tea from this garden have always offered a lot of amplitude in the range of tastes and depth in the luscious bouquet it proposes. It is quite simply all you can expect from a Taiwanese High Mountain but with an extra degree of intensity without any harshness. despite this spring’s challenging weather, we are quite pleased with this selection that we would rate higher than last spring’s. It’s a must for all oolong enthusiast.

Drinking the 2013 version of this, Lot 217, is disappointing. The promise in the aroma of the wet leaves and liquor proves futile in the taste of the liquor itself. This seems to be common with gaoshans, viz. lots of promise but less fulfillment.
