This High Mountain Tea will be a delight for those who are after a high grade, flavoursome Oolong tea that is grown using organic farming and produced free of chemical and pesticides.
This spring tea is from ShiZhuo district in Taiwan Alishan and offers the same unique, sublime flavour common to premium teas produced in this famous alpine region. Mr Wang, the owner of the farm (pictured here) went through great length to locate his farm on the steep mountainside to ensure there is no cross-contamination from neighbours, as even a little breeze can carry pesticides across. The extent of carefulness is required to pass the certification test for 488 commonly used pesticides.
The mid-season tea is harvested in between seasons and carry the unique flavour of both spring and winter. It is an affordable alternative for tea lovers who enjoy premium organic Alishan tea.
The harvest is golden yellow in colour and carries a sweet orchid fragrance, a smooth texture with a mellow fruity undertone. It is an amazing harvest that is both inspiring and relaxing at the same time, a unique flavour that one has to try to believe. I use an aroma cup when I brew this tea just to savour the exquisite fragrance.
This handpicked tea comes as loose leaf and is vacuum-packed direct at the farm for freshness.

Organic farming for High Mountain Tea is relatively new and it is a difficult journey to embark on as it requires significantly more work to start with (i.e. proper location on the steep terrain) and the cost of production is generally 2 – 3 times higher than normal tea. The plantations I choose are either certified organic farms or at the very least uses organic fertilizers. Their price points will be different but my intention is that everyone should be able to enjoy organically grown tea regardless. I believe that organic produce is the way of the future for this world to be sustainable, both from a health and ecological perspective.
No pesticide is used on the farm
Harvesting the organic High Mountain Tea
Use 2 to 3 teaspoons of tea leaf with 120 ml of near-boiling water (90-95°C).
Place tea leaf into a teapot and do a quick rinse with hot water. Discard the liquid. This cleans and wakes up the leaves. Refill the teapot with hot water and keep the lid on for 30-40 secs before pouring into a pitcher.
Repeat the steeping 40-50 secs and mix the brews together.
Now you have a great tasting cup of tea with an amazing fragrant aroma.
