Now we can enjoy the flavour and aroma of High Mountain Tea on the go. We have packed the goodness of this exquisite tea into convenient pyramid tea bags so that you can enjoy its refreshing tastes anytime, anywhere.
High Mountain Tea is not another green tea, neither is it another Oolong tea. It is unique in the way that it is grown, harvested and produced. Daniel Reid in his book The Art and Alchemy of Chinese Tea devoted half of it to explain the virtues and characteristics of this amazing tea. He wrote, "Once you've tasted a fine grade of High Mountain Oolong, properly prepared the traditional Chinese way, you will know exactly what makes it so special."
This is a winter harvest that comes from a farm in ChiaYi County in the mountains of Alishan (elevation over 1,000 m) and has a rich yellow colour and carries a sweet caramel aroma. You can enjoy it hot or cold due to the high quality tea leaves. During summer I will put one tea bag into a bottle of mineral water and keep in the fridge overnight for an amazing, refreshing drink the next day.
This handpicked tea is packed direct at the farm for freshness. It comes in a box of 25 individually sealed, pyramid-shaped, silk tea bags. Each tea bag holds approximately 4 grams of genuine loose leaf winter tea and it can be re-steeped multiple times due to its quality.

With the passing of winter in Taiwan comes this highly anticipated Winter High Mountain Tea. Winter tea is regarded to be the purest expression of High Mountain Oolong. If offers a distinct flavour due to the tea leaves maturing under the cold mountain temperature. Seasonal tea (spring or winter) is considered premium grade compared to the more common all-year round variety as the tea bush is given time to develop and mature.
This harvest comes from a farm in ChiaYi County in the mountains of Alishan (elevation over 1,000 m) and has a rich yellow colour and carries a sweet caramel aroma. The taste is well balanced, purer and it has a fuller body as the larger winter leaves gradually release their flavour with each subsequent brew. I like the subtlety of the tea compared to the spring variety, and how it carries a lingering, nutty sweetness in your tongue.
This handpicked tea comes as loose leaf and is vacuum-packed direct at the farm for freshness. You can also choose the convenient tea bag option which is the same loose leaf tea packed into individually sealed, silk tea bags if you like your tea on-the-go (view it in my store Winter Harvest in Tea Bag).
