It was quite the tea cupping when we visited our source of both Alishan and Li Shan High Mountain Oolong to taste the recent fall harvest. We cupped three different types of tea overall, drinking tea for about three hours straight! But for now, we'll focus on Alishan High Mountain Oolong Tea — fall harvest.

We sourced both summer and fall harvests of Alishan High Mountain Oolong Tea from our friends in Ruifeng, Meishan Township. The central mountain range on Taiwan got lots of rain throughout August, but Alishan is the southernmost High Mountain Tea growing region, and gets more sunshine than its northern neighbors.

Our new fall batch is a noticeably more substantial brew, with a smooth, creamy composition and a fresh herbal aromatic profile. The leaf material is less mature than the previous summer crop, and offers amore substantial and flavorful cup of tea. Check out the tasting video for the full scoop!
