Harvested from the remote Cui Lan (翠巒) area within Taiwan’s renowned Li Shan (梨山) high-mountain tea region, this premium oolong reflects the purity and elegance of one of Taiwan’s highest tea-growing terroirs. Cultivated at elevations of approximately 2,000 meters, the tea bushes mature slowly in cool alpine air, dense mountain mist, and mineral-rich soil—conditions that naturally concentrate sweetness and aroma.
 
Hand-picked and crafted in small batches, this lightly oxidized, traditionally rolled oolong delivers a luminous cup with refined floral character and remarkable clarity. The aroma opens with orchid and fresh spring blossoms, followed by a silky palate layered with ripe peach, sweet corn, and soft mountain honey. The texture is smooth and creamy, finishing long with a clean, refreshing minerality unique to Cui Lan’s high-altitude environment.
 
Each infusion unfolds beautifully, evolving from bright florals into deeper sweetness and gentle vegetal notes—making this tea both approachable and complex, perfect for contemplative gongfu sessions.
