Li Shan High Mountain – Pure, Fruity "Pear Mountain" OolongA lovely example of Taiwanese high-mountain oolong! Li Shan High Mountain is grown atop Li Shan — literally "Pear Mountain" — part of the highest mountain ranges in beautiful Taiwan. The oolong tea plants thrive in the cool, wet temperatures common throughout the region, growing slowly to develop remarkable sweetness and depth. Known for its purity in color, aroma and taste, Li Shan oolong is produced to preserve that purity as much as possible. Only the slightest roast is applied, keeping the leaves fresh while accentuating the gently sweet taste oolongs are known for. The tea bushes grow among naturally growing fruit trees, and it's said that the leaves absorb a multitude of flavors — most distinctively, a subtle essence of pear. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItLi Shan is one of Taiwan's most celebrated high-mountain oolongs, and this tea shows why. It delivers multiple steepings of floral, pure, fruit-like flavor — smooth, sweet and never bitter.
How to EnjoyBrew it gongfu-style and enjoy many infusions, noticing how the fruity notes evolve. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit, light desserts and seafood, and makes a stunning iced oolong. Pure, fruity and beautifully floral, Li Shan High Mountain is a jewel of Taiwanese oolong. |

A little steeping tipOne of Taiwan's highest teas: creamy and floral. Re-steep 5–6 times.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
