Alishan tea is a variety of high-mountain oolong tea grown in the Alishan Mountains of Taiwan. The name Alishan seems to be taken from the word ‘Alit,’ which means ‘ancestor mountain’ in several Taiwanese indigenous dialects.
High mountain tea or ‘koashan’ tea is a designation of teas from Taiwan grown at elevations above 1,000 meters. The Alishan mountain range is known for its high altitude and rich soil, making it an ideal environment for growing tea. Full sunshine is limited, making conditions ideal. The result is less astringency in the tea, with a higher sweetness and theanine content. This tea is grown in a beautiful garden on a 1,200-meter-high peak.
Alishan tea is known for its delicate and floral aroma, with a smooth and creamy taste. The dry leaf is usually purple-green, and the resulting cup is golden in color and very fruity. It has a complex flavor profile with hints of fruit and a subtle sweetness. It is a tea that refreshes the spirit and is often enjoyed in the afternoon or sometimes accompanying meals. It’s a popular choice with many tea enthusiasts who value Alishan’s unique flavor and the health benefits of these high-mountain oolong teas. Recently, it has become quite popular with the youth in Taiwan.
