Li Shan

This is one of Taiwan’s highest mountain teas. The tea plants must battle cold (sometimes even snow) and frequent mists. This makes a haunting brew with echoes of honey and cream.

Our Review

Li Shan is one of the most recent High Mountain (Gao Shan) tea growing areas. It is located in the middle of Taiwan's central mountain region. The tea is rolled into balls using special machines. In the old days, they used the feet of strong teamen to bend the leaf. This is considered one of the best oolongs in the world.

a walk in the woods in a cup

Average Review:

I love this tea! Its heavenly scent will transport you. When I first tried this tea I didn't know it could be re-brewed and taste as good the second and third time but it does. Try it and it will take you on a walk in the woods or mountains each time you have a cup, just make time to sit and breath deeply when you brew each cup.

Elegant and long lasting

Average Review:

It tastes very gentle but has a long lasting fragrant flavour. Really love it! Best tea ever.

Brad 9/13/12

Subtle flavor but better 2nd steeping

Average Review:

I found this tea to be very pleasing to the pallet. The second steeping was more suitable to my taste, leaves were open and more flavor was released. As always, Harney & Sons supplied a top quality product!
