Lishan Gaoshan Wulong Cha (Lishan High Mountain Oolong Tea)
Zhang Xie Zhu and Chen Chung Chia
Lishan is a highly sought after high mountain tea and once you have tasted this tea you will know why. Mr. Chen’s tea brews into a bright, yellow/green gold color. The nose is rich and penetrating and there is a noticeable viscosity in the mouth. The finish is long and persistent. This is an exceptionally fine example of what good tea from Lishan should deliver.
