Lishan High Mountain Oolong梨山乌龙

In the cup, Lishan High Mountain Oolong is best understood as a oolong tea built around floral, butter, and pear. The secondary notes of cream and orchid give it more range than a simple category label suggests, while the aroma leans toward a restrained aroma. Expect a medium body and a finish that shows the tea most clearly after the first few sips.

The origin matters here. Lishan High Mountain Oolong is associated with Lishan in Taiwan, so the page should be read as a profile of both tea style and place. Highest elevation tea in Taiwan. Premium oolong production. That context helps explain why two teas in the same broad family can taste noticeably different.

Processing is the other major clue: oolong tea is typically partial oxidation and repeated leaf handling, creating a wide spectrum from floral to roasted. For Lishan High Mountain Oolong, the oxidation level is 18% when measured on a simple scale.

For brewing, start near 90C with about 6g per 100ml. The first infusion at roughly 30 seconds should show the tea's structure without over-extracting it; later steeps can move in 5-second increments. Because the expected range is about 7 infusions, this tea is better judged across a session than from one long steep.

When buying Lishan High Mountain Oolong, use price as a quality signal but not the only one. A common mid-range benchmark is around $40-$90 per 50g. Look for clean aroma, credible origin naming, and leaf appearance that matches the style before paying premium prices.

It is especially useful for special occasion and guests. With moderate caffeine and a medium body, it can fit different roles depending on steep strength: lighter infusions emphasize fragrance, while slightly longer infusions bring out texture and finish.
