Alishan High Mountain Tea

Taiwan high mountain tea that grows in the vicinity of Alishan- in ChiaYi County, is known for its delicate, subtle qualities of a "buttery" flavor and texture. This tea garden is the highest house on the hill (1,500 m), at the top of a steep valley terraced with tea. This area has drastically increased in popularity in the last few years. We are proud to be a consistent buyer and seller from the same source for over a decade.

This winter's produce lives up to the reputation that our Alishan tea has gained us. This farmer learned early on that a little extra oxidation of the leaves goes a long way in producing a full flavored, well balanced high mountain tea. It has a fresh floral boquet and smooth viscous texture that sets it apart from its oolong relatives to the north in Nantou County. Get some while it lasts!
