Ali Shan

Teas from Ali Shan are famous for their light body and fragrant flavours. Grown at high altitude, they offer a fresh taste of the mountains.

Ali Shan is a mountain resort and natural reserve located high in the mountains of Chiayi County in the centre of Taiwan. The natural reserve contains waterfalls, mountain forests and some of the most famous high altitude tea plantations in the country.

Ali Shan is famous for its beautiful sunrises, making it one of the most well-known tourist destinations in Taiwan.

Tea is grown at high-altitude on Ali Shan, where the climate changes from subtropical to temperate and alpine. Tea bushes at this altitude grow slowly. This slow growth can be seen on infusion of the tea - the tightly rolled leaves, expand and unfurl to show that each picking is in fact a number of leaves, separated by a strong stalk. Ali Shan oolong teas are famous for their light, floral aroma and creamy, refreshing taste.
