Origin: Taiwan

This high mountain (Gaoshan) oolong from Alishan is plucked by tea growers  from an ancient variety of tea tree. Grown at an altitude of 1500m above sea level, this pristine, mountainous area is where day and night temperatures have a large variation, providing a clean and crisp environment for growing Taiwan’s famous Gaoshan Oolong. Once hand rolled by Tea Masters to a precise oxidative state, the resultant oolong is mildly roasted every year for 5 years to promote a slow and natural fermentation, with its tea flavors is at their peak between the 5th and 8th year, giving a robust fruit and honey fragrance. This specific tea is traditionally sought after by seasoned tea drinkers as a secret weapon for promoting lung health, with its healing powers most beneficial for chain smokers.

The real and slow natural fermentation process creates an oolong that is rich in completely natural probiotic bateria. This adds beneficial bacteria and enzymes to a person’s overall inteatinal flora, restoring the health of gut microbiome and both the digestive and immunity system.
