REGION:
LI SHAN, TAIWAN
Li Shan, or "Pear Mountain," is one of Taiwan's most prestigious tea-growing regions, celebrated for its high-altitude oolongs. Located in central Taiwan, Li Shan's tea gardens thrive at elevations of 1,600 to over 2,600 meters, where the cool temperatures, persistent mist, and ample sunshine create a unique microclimate ideal for cultivating exceptional teas.
The high elevation slows the growth of tea leaves, concentrating their flavors and imbuing them with a natural sweetness and creamy texture. Li Shan teas are prized for their delicate floral aromas, buttery smoothness, and a lingering, honey-like finish. Grown in rich, volcanic soils, these teas reflect the purity of their environment, offering an unparalleled tea-drinking experience. As one of Taiwan’s crown jewels, Li Shan remains a symbol of refined craftsmanship and the pinnacle of high-mountain oolong production.
