  • Description

    As these tightly rolled tea leaves unfurl, they exude a pristine yellow nectar that is beautifully fragrant and quenching, with notes of sweet pineapple, honeysuckle and a thick, creamy texture.

    Taiwan is the only place to have a classification for high grown tea – recognising that tea grown in the right mountain conditions will develop unique and special combinations ofcreamy fruit and floral flavours. The tea bushes grown on Li Shan mountain range are fed by the rich, fertile soils from the legacy of the pear orchards and the fruit trees that thrive there. Picked in spring, the leaves are tossed gently to encourage light oxidisation before being rolled and fired into tight balls which unfurl in hot water. You’ll find lots of fruit in this tea – it’s more creamy than milky, but it’s the high floral aromatics that make it a refined tea that stands out. If you know you like our Ali Shan oolong tea, we recommend trying Li Shan for something more.
