Located in central Taiwan, Alishan is a renowned high-mountain tea-growing region, known for its cool, mist-covered slopes and pristine natural environment.
Situated at elevations between 1,000 and 1,600 meters, the tea farms here benefit from a unique combination of cool temperatures, abundant rainfall, and rich, well-drained soil. These conditions produce tea leaves with a remarkable balance of sweetness, floral notes, and depth.
A warmer, deeper cousin to our unroasted Alishan Oolong, this roast brings out notes of toasted almond, roasted barley, caramel, and baked apple—balanced by the tea’s natural buttery, floral sweetness. Smooth, full-bodied, and velvety, each infusion layers in more warmth with a mellow, honeyed finish.
Perfect for cozy evenings or slow mornings—add it to your cart and taste the comfort in every cup.

I am glad I can find a quality Taiwanese high mountain tea here in the US. The taste of the tea was fresh and with light fragrance. It's really refreshing my day.
I also served this tea for my CNY party guests and got a lot of compliments. Great experience!!!
