Alishan High Mountain Oolong Description:

This Alishan High Mountain Oolong is produced by the people of Dabang tribe of the Tsou People of Taiwan. This is a truly unique tea sharing some of the best qualities of Oriental Beauty and Alishan Oolongs. Like Oriental Beauty the leaves used for this tea are chewed by leafhoppers to impart a slightly sweeter unique flavor. Unlike Oriental Beauty however, which is an open twist oolong, this Alishan oolong is tightly balled. It features an almost toasted honey aroma with a sweet and lingering taste. Pluck style is a bud and 2-4 leaves. It is lightly oxidized but a medium/heavy roasting is applied to the finished product.  Plantation is managed in accordance with EU Regulations (EC834/2007) for pesticide and fertilizer free production at elevations of 3,200ft to 5,000 ft above sea level.

This is a complex oolong with flavors of cream, caramel, and flowers.connoisseur-color-75x75.gif

    This has quickly become one of my favorite oolong teas. It is VERY smooth and non acidic

    I love the balance of this tea. It is a daily staple. I like it better than the Dark Alishan. The only other Oolong I regularly drink is Milk Oolong also from Dominion Tea. But that is more of a treat and has a little more boldness and acidity, but still balanced.

  • Delicious and delicate

    This one threw me off a bit. I drank the Four Seasons oolong the day before this one and was surprised by how delicate the Alishan oolong flavor was. There was a light flowery taste to it and the smell reminded me of a dewy morning.
