Li Shan Oolong Tea
Grown in the pristine high mountain regions of Taiwan, Li Shan Oolong Tea is regarded as one of the world’s finest high-mountain oolong teas. Cultivated at elevations where cool temperatures, misty mornings, and dramatic day-to-night temperature changes slow leaf growth, the tea develops exceptional sweetness, complexity, and aroma.
When infused, Li Shan produces a crystal-clear greenish-yellow liquor with an elegant bouquet of fresh flowers, delicate citrus, and subtle fruity notes. The flavor is remarkably smooth and silky, balanced by gentle vegetal sweetness and a lingering, refreshing finish that invites multiple infusions. Each steep reveals new layers of flavor, making it a rewarding tea for both seasoned tea enthusiasts and those discovering premium Taiwanese oolong for the first time.

Whether enjoyed during a quiet afternoon, shared with guests, or brewed in a traditional gongfu session, this exceptional tea delivers a refined and memorable experience.
