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.

Dry Leaves: Green leaves tightly rolled into little pieces.
Liquor: A very light clear green-yellow.
Aroma: Sweet, with an intense mixture of flowers, pears, and lemons.
Flavors: Creamy, like lemon and pear with underlying vegetal notes.
Caffeine Level:
Caffeinated
Body: A little lighter than last year's crop.

4 to 5 minutes
