Premium Alishan Oolong Tea
A Taiwanese high-mountain oolong with a naturally sweet, floral aroma and a smooth, clean finish.
Overview
Alishan Oolong Tea is grown in Taiwan’s renowned Alishan mountain region, where cool mist, rich soil, and high elevation help create a refined cup with gentle sweetness and a lingering floral character. This tea is typically hand-rolled into tight pellets that beautifully unfurl during brewing.
Origin: Alishan Oolong Tea (Taiwan)
