NASLAPH Alishan Oolong Tea – Taiwan High Mountain Gaoshan Oolong, Distinct Aroma, 8.82 Oz

Discover NASLAPH Alishan Oolong Tea

From Taiwan's famed Alishan high altitude estates, this oolong is crafted with a gentle, artisanal approach that prioritizes aroma and nuanced flavor. The cool, misty climate at elevation nurtures slow growth and tender leaves, while careful processing yields a delicate, full bodied cup that invites calm attention.

Grown at elevations between 1,000 and 1,800 meters, the leaves develop substantial tissue and a light fermentation of 10 to 15 percent, creating a balanced profile that blends fresh fragrance with mellow richness. The resulting liquor carries a distinctive floral bouquet, a crisp mineral undertone, and a smooth, long lasting finish with a subtle sweetness.

Flavor, aroma, and tasting approach

Light fermentation yields a tea that blends freshness with depth. Expect evolving aroma across infusions, with a delicate yet full bodied liquor that remains smooth on the palate and finishes with a lasting sweetness.
