Yushan High Mountain Oolong Tea

Grown on the slopes of Taiwan’s highest peak, Yushan Oolong represents the pinnacle of high mountain tea. Cultivated at elevations exceeding 2,000 meters, this tea benefits from cool temperatures, frequent mist, and slow leaf development. These conditions concentrate aroma and flavor in every harvest. The tightly rolled leaves unfurl into a bright, translucent golden liquor with exceptional clarity. The aroma opens with fresh alpine florals and a hint of creamy sweetness, while the taste is smooth, layered, and refined. Notes of orchid, soft stone fruit, and a gentle buttery finish linger on the palate, without the heaviness of roasted styles. Compared to other high mountain oolongs like Alishan, Yushan tends to be more delicate and ethereal, with a cleaner, more lifted profile and a longer-lasting floral aftertaste. This is a lightly oxidized, minimally roasted oolong, crafted to preserve the purity of the mountain terroir. Each infusion reveals new depth, making it an excellent choice for gongfu brewing or mindful daily drinking.
