Alishan Oolong Tea is one of Taiwan’s most renowned teas, celebrated for its unique flavor and exceptional quality. Grown in the Alishan tea region at elevations above 1,000 meters, it benefits from a distinctive terroir that imparts its signature characteristics. As a semi-fermented tea, Alishan Oolong is carefully crafted to preserve both its floral aroma and mellow, smooth taste, delivering a pronounced “mountain charm.”
Key Features:
• Superior Terroir: The high-altitude Alishan region is shrouded in mist with wide diurnal temperature variations. This slows leaf growth, thickens the leaves, and increases pectin content—resulting in distinctive flavor and texture.

• Aroma & Taste: Elegant and fresh with orchid and fruity notes. Smooth and sweet with a lingering aftertaste and excellent rebrewability.
• Liquor Appearance: Honey-green with a golden sheen, bright and vivid.
• Cultivars: Primarily Qingxin Oolong and Jinxuan. Qingxin offers a rich and elegant taste; Jinxuan brings a signature milky aroma and silkier texture.
Harvest Seasons & Plucking:
• Harvested year-round, with the best quality from spring (late March to early May) and winter (late October to late November).
• Mostly hand-picked using the “one bud, two leaves” standard to ensure tenderness and integrity.
