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.

The Journey of Tea Tasting

Aroma: As the tea is brewed, a misty white vapor rises, releasing a rich aroma. As the tea cools, its fragrance subtly evolves, taking you on a journey through the scents of white flowers, forest notes, and stony mineral undertones, encapsulating the essence of “mountain-chi.”

Mouthfeel: Take a sip and enjoy the soft, rich texture of the tea. Sense the sweetness, reminiscent of endless spring water. Savor the delicate fragrance, immersing yourself in an elegant flavor landscape — focus on the subtle aromatic hints within the tea, and enjoy the refined pleasure of high mountain tea.

Aftertaste: each infusion offers unique nuances: the first is fragrant, the second is rich, and the tea can be re-steeped up to five times. With each breath, deepen and extend the lingering aftertaste, creating a lasting impression. Admire the supple, verdant leaves, appreciating Taiwan’s world-class terroir and tea craftsmanship.

The Majestic Trio – Exploring Mountain Splendor

Alishan, Shanlinxi, and Lishan are three renowned high mountains, each standing over a thousand meters above sea level. These areas boast distinct soils and climate conditions, nurturing unique tea aromas. Brewing and tasting teas from these three regions together allows you to experience their distinct landscapes amidst the mist and clouds, a delight for tea enthusiasts.
