The mountains of Taiwan are unrivaled when it comes to high elevation oolongs. The tea bushes treated to the cool climate, wreaths of morning fog and sunny afternoons produce glossy leaves, thick and resilient. Delicate florals and rich dairy notes are common among lightly roasted oolongs. Medium to heavy roast versions display a sweet and nutty profile with spice and honey.
Lightly roasted oolongs like the Lishan, TungTing and DaiYuling can last up to two years with good storage. A heavily fermented oolong like the Oriental Beauty can last indefinitely and experience changes to the flavor profile through the years. This also applies to aged teas that have been treated with a heavy roast. Keep your teas in airtight containers away from light and heat to maintain their quality and preserve character.
