Trust Me. Each season when we source our tea and visit every farm, we find our favorite traditional oolong from the high mountains of Taiwan and designate it our Premium HMTN Oolong for the year. The tea that we select as our Premium HMTN Oolong comes with our promise that it’s a delicious and intoxicating single-origin oolong.
Taiwan is known for producing the world’s highest quality oolong teas as it is perfectly located along the Tropic of Cancer, the soil is rich in minerals, and the ocean wind and mist provide the perfect moisture for tea plants. The best teas usually come from the Lishan high mountain region and the most prized tea is generally slow-grown from sunrise-facing mountains that are spared the harsh afternoon sun and harvested in the spring.
Due to its dependency on nature's conditions, the best tea rarely comes from the same farm each season. This is why we search for our favorite premium tea each spring and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
In Spring 2020, we discovered our Premium HMTN Oolong from a small farm that produced a limited quantity tea that combined a bouquet of gardenia and passion fruit, bound together by subtle hints of sweet apple. The farm was located 7550 feet above sea level in Lishan, Taiwan.
In Spring 2021, our Premium HMTN Oolong has aromas of pear and apple. As it was a particularly dry year in the higher altitudes, we found our seasonal favorite at a slightly lower altitude of 6890 feet in Lishan, Taiwan.
