Lishan Oolong Tea is Taiwan’s most popular high-mountain tea. Mention Lishan Oolong, and many high-mountain tea lovers will instantly crave a cup. What exactly makes Lishan Oolong so special, and how is its taste that leaves everyone who tries it full of praise? Here are the key characteristics of Lishan Oolong Tea:
Excellent Sweet Aftertaste: Lishan Oolong Tea is grown in tea gardens at altitudes ranging from 1,600 to 2,500 meters. The cold high-mountain environment and large temperature differences reduce bitterness and astringency, resulting in a tea soup with a wonderful sweet aftertaste. Compared to other tea regions, it tastes smoother and has a superior mouthfeel.
Unique Floral Aroma: Because growing tea in the high mountains is challenging, local farmers use generous amounts of organic fertilizer and have developed advanced irrigation systems. As a result, Lishan Oolong tea leaves grow thick and are rich in pectin, yielding tea leaves infused with special floral aromas, such as osmanthus and orchid notes, making for a refreshing and pleasant drinking experience.
Distinct Mountain Qi (Mountain Rhyme): Combined with the high local altitude and the chilly breezes blowing from Hehuanshan, Lishan Oolong Tea possesses a unique mountain character that other teas simply lack. This is a signature trait exclusive to Lishan, offering a lingering and delightful fragrance.
