The Alishan High Mountain Oolong Story

Lin Liang-Chih and his wife Guo Chun-mei founded their tea garden in 1985, high in Taiwan's Alishan mountains. At 1,000 to 1,600 meters, their Shizhuo estate sits in the clouds — cool summers, misty mornings, and the temperature swings that give high-mountain tea its sweetness. The family handles everything: farming, harvesting, refining, baking. No pesticides. No middlemen. Just three decades of craft in every cup.

★★★★★
"Fresh with a light fragrance — really refreshing. I served this at my CNY party and got a lot of compliments. So glad I can find quality Taiwanese high mountain tea here in the US."

Map of Taiwan highlighting Alishan

Alishan's misty peaks at 2,200m create slow-growing tea with a signature buttery sweetness and floral lift.

Tea terraces at 1,400 meters in Taiwan's Alishan range — where cool mist and slow growth produce some of the world's finest oolongs.

Each batch is hand-rolled and lightly oxidized to preserve its delicate floral character, then cupped before it leaves the mountain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use 8g of leaves in 300ml of water at 90-95°C. Steep for 4 minutes. The leaves open slowly — you can steep them 3-4 times, adding 30 seconds each round.
Yes, that's the point! Oolong is meant for multiple infusions. The first steep is light and floral, the second brings out more body, and later steeps get richer and sweeter.
Elevation. At 1500m, the cool mist and temperature swings slow leaf growth, concentrating the sugars and aromatics. You get a sweetness and complexity you can't replicate at lower altitudes.
Yes, moderate caffeine — less than black tea but more than green. Most people find it perfect for afternoon drinking without affecting sleep.
A gaiwan brings out the best flavor, but any teapot works. Avoid metal infusers that trap the leaves — oolong needs room to unfurl.
Absolutely. Add 8g to 500ml cold water, refrigerate 8-12 hours. The result is silky smooth with pronounced sweetness — a completely different experience from hot brewing.
