№239：2021 Winter｜Lishan 梨山, Nantou
Tea plantations peaking over 1900 meters above sea level are exposed to sunlight in the morning then covered by mist for the rest of the day. Lishan (Pear Mountain) is the highest tea plantation site in Taiwan and is known for its high-quality oolong. With a significant temperature difference between day and night, the tea leaves grow slowly and thicker, producing more flavor.
This blessed environment brings out the incredible taste – subtle, silky, and well-rounded, as well as a lingering flowery aftertaste. You may find the flavor lighter for the first time drinking, but the layers would eventually come along to reveal depth.
A tasting experience with complexity and texture is exactly what veteran tea connoisseurs genuinely appreciate. The Pear Delicate Oolong boasts a cold stony composition, a mineral fragrance, and incomparable velvety texture – reminiscent of a veiled high mountain wreathed in the cool air and soft clouds.

TTB Review #41: If I didn’t know there was supposed to be pear in this, I wouldn’t have tasted it. Expecting it going in, I was able to pick out small tidbits of pear flavor, but even then they were few and far between. I tried this both hot and cold, both with lackluster results.
Had less then tepid cup of tea this morning at the hotels breakfast. I need to revive my palate with some tea cpr. This hits the spot. Especially cold since it’s so hot out here in Olympia. Not Washington. Actual Olympia in Greece. I jogged on the ancient track where the first games were held. It was fascinating. Like this tea. The aroma is divine. Pear, mineralistic notes, floral. I steeped it while I was showering. No one likes to drink tea while sweaty and stinky right? And I feel that this one has become a bit too vegetal. Not that there’s anything wrong with that but the floral, and mineral notes are subdued. Can’t wait to try this hot. Edit. Back in the US. To be honest I can’t say I like this one hot. The aroma reminds me of buttered popcorn from the theatre with very faint floral undertones. It also slightly reminds me of the pastry shop we stopped at while driving along the Gulf of Corinth to get to the bridge to Patras. I’ve never seen so many baklavas in my life. And they were so tasty. I wish American food wasn’t so… ugh. I feel the itch to go exploring… This oolong just isn’t doing it for me hot though.
I should have put on the bag it is a straight oolong, no flavors or blended ingredients. The name is probably supposed to indicate a faint white fruity note.
