LI SHAN 梨山

$25.00

Li Shan is a high mountain oolong grown on the misty slopes of Taiwan's renowned Li Shan region. Elevated above 2,400 meters (3,900 to 7,900 feet) above sea level. This elevation plays a significant role in our tea's unique characteristics, as the cooler temperatures and slower growth contribute to the tea's delicate floral notes and complexity.

Li Shan is known for its smooth, creamy texture and high-quality flavor profile, which are enhanced by the distinct climate conditions found at such heights. These factors make Li Shan Oolong highly sought after by tea connoisseurs worldwide.

The infusion delivers a soft, creamy body complemented by floral notes of peach blossom and a fresh, airy finish reminiscent of its alpine origins. Li Shan embodies the elegance of Taiwan’s high-mountain teas, offering a refined and serene cup for moments of quiet indulgence.

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.
