LI SHAN 2024 № 540 - 4480 HUF
High-mountain (1800 m) oolong
Region: Li Shan, Nantou County, Taiwan
Li Shan is one of Taiwan’s best known tea growing areas. The cooler air of the mountain is not only beneficial for tea plantations but also for pear growing, hence its name Li Shan, that is Pear Mountain.
Due to the cooler climate and the unusually heavy spring rains in 2024, the tea leaves remained softer and a more extended drying process was needed, which resulted in a smoky twist in the thick, intense tea, with subtle flowers and creaminess. It has a creamy, olive oil-like texture and the taste of fresh pea and sweetcorn.
