Li Shan Tie Guan Yin

A very nice High Mountain Tea from Lishan from the Tieguanyin variety, strongly oxidised and roasted. It is very difficult to produce a strongly oxidised oolong at such a high altitude, also very weather-dependent, so there are rarely really good qualities.

The Tieguanyin tea plant originates from Anxi and was brought to Muzha near Taibei in Taiwan in the 1920s. Later it was also cultivated in the Taiwanese mountains such as on the Alishan and the Lishan.
