The High Mountains of Taiwan have many growing regions and this one is relatively new. Perched on the east facing side of the He Huan Mountain Range, this terroir is slightly different than its Pear Mountain cousins. We bought a limited amount of this tea as a comparison and we are releasing it for sale now!
While gown conventionally, this tea has passed the Taiwanese Government’s ‘Safety Tests’ for many years and is a good example of relatively clean, conventionally grown tea for the Taiwanese domestic market. If you are interested in trying conventionally grown high mountain oolong with taste points designed for the domestic market this is a great one!

This one has a creamy vegetal steeped scent, with hints of bitterness. The taste is very smooth with a natural creamy sweetness and the most subtle edge of bitterness as it cools.
