From jLteaco (fongmongtea)

Zhu Lu Alishan Gaoshan, developed since 1980, the tea estates on Alishan area is the origin of the beginning to plant and produce the newest type of high mountain oolongs in Taiwan. At the elevation of 1000 meters above, the mountainsides are covered with fog or clouds which are ideal for growing Oolong. The tea estates are nestled in a beautiful scenic area with a 1000 years old forest nearby.
Due to the unique local climate and selection criteria for the leaves, this tea is a high quality grade Alishan Oolong. The tea liquor has a pale yellow hue matching its faintly fresh aroma. Once tasted, the tea presents itself with a fresh taste followed by a faintly sweet aftertaste. A relaxing and memorable oolong, ultimate comfort tea, is a great introduction to Taiwanese High Mt. Tea.

Brewing tips:

The water used to steep this tea should be about 85-90 degree Celsius. Use about 3 grams of tea leaves for about every 150 c.c. of water. A steeping time of about 6 minutes is recommended with more or less time depending on the desired concentration. As a rough guide, the higher the temperature of the water or the greater the amount of leaves used, the shorter the steeping time should be. The tea leaves should uncurl for full flavor.

For the ultimate enjoyment, a traditional Chinese ceramic (pottery) teapot is recommended for loose oolong tea. The teapot should be half filled with leaves and initially steeped for 45 seconds to 1 minute with the steeping time increased by an additional 15 seconds for each successive steeping. The leaves may be brewed for multiple times.

The Zhu Lu Alishan High Mountain Oolong Tea is a pleasant, standard, everyday quality Taiwanese oolong. It has the classic floral and sweet characters in the aroma and taste that Taiwanese oolongs are known for. The number of quality infusions from this tea were very respectable.

I love many of these rare high mountain oolongs. This one falls right in there with the rest as a solid tea, but I do get a sort of off aftertaste.

Thanks to Fong Mong for this sample.

I started this one by heating the yixing and giving the tea leaves a quick rinse. I picked up an aroma of spice, floral and fruit. There is also a slightly honey aroma in there as well. After giving it a quick rinse it was time to proceed with the steepings.

First steeping is rather pale golden straw color liquor. Giving it a quick sip, I got a slightly stronger spice aroma and taste, more anise and cinamon now. I also got some peach and stonefruit, as well as floral taste I cant quite put my finger on. Also its quite sweet with a nice honey aftertaste.

Second steep the liquor got slightly darker as well as getting more stonefruit now. The spice taste isnt quite as intense now as it was in the first steep. I believe the yixing I brew it in intensifies the spice aroma. Which I do happen to like. It is also a bit more floral at this point, but I cant quite put a name to it.

Third steeping is about the same color, but there is a slight grass or vegetal aroma now entering into the picture, the aftertaste is all sweet and honey still.

I feel this tea will brew out for at least 8 times based on this assesment and I plan to enjoy every one of them. This is a very fine tea,
