High-cold richness
Taiwan’s most famous high-mountain tea regions include Alishan, Lishan, and Dayuling, usually at elevations above 800 meters, with Dayuling reaching over 2200 meters. These regions have high altitude, misty conditions, and large day-night temperature differences, which slow the growth of the tea trees and help create the more delicate aroma, sweet aftertaste, and layering that high-mountain tea is known for.
The cultivars grown in Taiwan’s high-mountain regions include Qing Xin Oolong, Jin Xuan, and Si Ji Chun. Different production areas and cultivars create high-mountain teas with their own distinct characteristics, so their aroma and mouthfeel also vary slightly.
