This is your proper Gao Shan Cha or ”High Mountain Tea”. It’s similar to the Stone Table Oolong from AliShan but is grown in a different region: The hipper, more accessible ShanLinXi region. This is more often than not our daily drinker. It has a medium amber body, it’s not floral but very palate cleansing and refreshing. You can drink this tea a long time and not get tired of it! It really is everything a High Mountain Oolong tea should be. Like our other teas, this tea is expertly grown, hand-picked, hand-processed and FRESH!
Location: Shan Lin Xi, Nantou county, Central Taiwan.
Chinese name: 衫林溪高山茶/Shan Lin Xi Gao Shan Cha.
