View detailsThe Taiwanese Heritage Collection Story
Taiwan didn't just refine oolong — it defined it.
These three teas make the case.
Pinglin Pouchong Oolong
From the mist-covered valleys just outside Taipei — the lightest expression in Taiwan's oolong tradition. Barely oxidized, barely twisted. Lily, orchid, and a clean sweetness that lingers.
Alishan High Mountain Oolong
Above 1,000 meters, the air cools and the leaf slows down. That patience concentrates into a creamy, buttery body with notes of gardenia and a sweetness that stays. The tea that put Taiwan on the world map.
Shan Lin Xi High Mountain Oolong
Higher still at 1,500 meters, the air thins and something shifts. Brighter aromatics, silkier texture, a fruity complexity only extreme altitude can produce. The most elevated expression of Taiwan's oolong tradition.
Three regions. One tradition. The full language of oolong.

Chiyayi
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.
Lin Liang-Chih and Guo Chun-mei have farmed their Shizhuo estate since 1985. No pesticides, no middlemen — just three decades of craft.
Each batch is hand-rolled and lightly oxidized to preserve its delicate floral character, then cupped before it leaves the mountain.
From Nantou
Grown in
Nantou
Nantou's misty highlands at 1,600 meters — where the Shan family has crafted award-winning oolongs since 1978.
Tea gardens at 1,600 meters in Nantou's Da'an highlands — where cool mist, soft sunlight, and rich mountain soil produce Taiwan's most elegant oolongs.
The Shan family has farmed these slopes since 1978 — hand-picking each leaf, four decades of craft passed down through generations.
Traditional drying methods, small batches, no shortcuts. Every step controlled from field to final packaging.
From Pingling
Grown in
Pingling
Pinglin's river valleys near Taipei have produced Baozhong tea for 200 years — light, floral, barely oxidized.
Tea fields in Pinglin's misty river valleys — just outside Taipei, where abundant rainfall and cool humidity produce Taiwan's most delicate oolongs.
The Bai family has tended these fields for three generations. Traditional methods, sustainable farming, small batches only.
Each leaf is hand-picked and barely oxidized, preserving the tea's signature floral fragrance and silky body.
Three regions. One tradition. The full language of oolong.
Frequently Asked Questions
Three oolongs that together span Taiwan's full tea tradition — Pinglin Pouchong (19g), a barely-oxidized valley oolong with an ethereal floral character; Alishan High Mountain Oolong (75g), Taiwan's most celebrated region at 1,000m+; and Shan Lin Xi High Mountain Oolong (75g), grown at 1,500m where extreme altitude produces a silky, almost tropical complexity.
Oxidation and altitude. Pouchong is one of the least oxidized oolongs — barely 15–20% — which keeps it delicate, floral, and close to green tea in character. High mountain oolongs like Alishan and Shan Lin Xi are more oxidized and grown at extreme elevations, producing the thick, creamy, buttery texture the style is known for. Together these three show you the full breadth of what oolong can be.
Begin with the Pinglin Pouchong — its lightness and delicacy set the palate and make the contrast with the high mountain oolongs all the more striking. Then move to Alishan for its creamy warmth, and finish with Shan Lin Xi whose bright complexity and silky texture make it an unforgettable closer.
The Pouchong is delicate — brew at 80–85°C with 3g per 200ml for around 45 seconds. Alishan and Shan Lin Xi do best at 90–95°C with 3g per 200ml, starting around 45 seconds. All three re-steep beautifully — the high mountain oolongs especially open up on the second and third infusion.
The Pouchong (19g) brews approximately 6–8 cups, while each high mountain oolong (75g) yields around 30 cups — giving you roughly 65–70 cups across the collection. High mountain oolongs re-steep exceptionally well so your actual count will often be higher.
Yes, moderate caffeine — less than black tea but more than green. Most people find it perfect for afternoon drinking without affecting sleep.
Pouchong is barely oxidized — only 8-12%, compared to 30-40% for most oolongs. This preserves the delicate floral aromatics and keeps the body silky and light.
