Description
Ali Shan ‘Mount Ali’ is a ‘must try’ Taiwanese Oolong area. This high mountain tea is hand picked and is cultivated at an altitude of 1800m. It’s fairly green and refreshing with lighter processing, in fact if you were just to sip the first infusion you would be forgiven for thinking it’s a high grade TGY. Infusion 2 and further produces a striking sweet creaminess coupled with a complex character of buttery peach, mango or exotic fruits that carries through to a lingering aftertaste. A silky soft texture just adds to this truly delightful cuppa!

Citrus, apricot and sweetcorn, with a long mineral finish. The mouthfeel is quite thick and juicy, making for a substantial brew. A little goes a long way. The large leaves and stalks look excellent, if you’re into examining the spent leaves!

This is the typical high mountain jade oolong, creamy, fragrant, very elegant, with caracteristic taiwan terroir minerality, I use a tiny bit lower temperature and a lot of leaf, it is very clean tasting, no astringency, no bitterness, beatiful leaf system, 3 leaves on a stalk.
