This Alishan Oolong tea is grown in the core region of Alishan at an altitude of over 1000 meters. The climate in Alishan is cool, with many clouds in the morning and evening, which slows the growth of the tea plants and results in lush tea leaves. The mountain water is clear, the soil is soft, and the air is fresh, adhering to organic cultivation practices. Tea grown in such a natural environment is healthier and has a milder flavor.
To ensure the freshness of the tea, we hand-pick the young leaves and buds in spring according to the one bud two leaves standard. At this time, the Oolong tea, having accumulated from both winter and spring, has a strong aroma and thick leaves. Alishan Jin Xuan tea is a natural tea without additives, emphasizing handmade production. Experienced tea masters conduct multiple checks, focusing on the entire production process, ensuring that the color, aroma, and taste of the tea all meet high standards to create premium tea.
