Description

Li Shan, considered to be among the best oolong teas in the world, comes from one of Taiwan's highest mountain areas. The tea plants must battle cold (sometimes even snow) and frequent mists. This makes a rare and haunting brew, with echoes of honey and cream.

Ingredients: Oolong tea.
