TEARELAE Taiwan Alishan Oolong Tea - 8.8oz/250g Loose Leaf, Authentic High Mountain Gaoshan Cha

Discover a hilltop classic

TEARELAE Taiwan Alishan Oolong Tea is crafted from high-altitude leaves, where the cool climate and daily cloud cover slow the growth of the tea plant. This loose-leaf oolong is produced with strict manual hand-picking to select only fresh shoots, while preserving some stems for a richer texture. Known as soft-branch oolong, these gentle stems help create a noticeably fuller, layered cup that lingers with sweetness.

What makes this tea special

• Hilltop flavor: the high-altitude environment contributes a sweet, mellow profile with honeyed undertones.
• Textural depth: retaining part of the stem adds a soft, juicy feel that can enhance the mouthfeel during sipping.
• Pure sourcing: leaves come from Alishan, where mist and cool air shape a smoother, less bitter cup.
• Reliable credentials: the tea carries Taiwan test reports, customs documentation, and SGS testing verification.

From Alishan to your cup

The Alishan region’s climate — cool, cloud-kissed, and consistently humid — helps temper bitterness and amplify sweetness in this green oolong. The result is a tea that feels both approachable and nuanced, with a gentle honey-like finish that can sit on the palate for a moment.

Flavor and aroma you may notice

• Sweet, mellow sweetness with a subtle honey note.
• Aroma that hints at fresh tea leaves and floral undertones.
• A smooth body with a clean, refined aftertaste that isn’t sharp or astringent.
• Balanced brightness that makes it versatile for multiple brewing styles.

Brewing tips for best results

For a well-rounded cup, start with water just off a boil and aim for a mid-range brew time. Adjust leaf quantity and steep duration to taste, then enjoy the evolving layers of aroma and sweetness as the tea opens in the cup.
