Скачать или смотреть Taiwan Alishan High Mountain Oolong Tea vs Shan Lin Xi High Mountain Oolong Tea (Winter 2023)

Alishan is the southernmost high mountain tea-growing region on Taiwan. It is known for its bright, pronounced aromatic and flavor profile that results from the relatively warmer and sunnier climate. Alishan is the most renowned name for High Mountain Oolong Tea from Taiwan, and it is the largest region as well.

The Shan Lin Xi tea growing region is directly north of Alishan, and not very far away as the crow flies. The climate and terrain are significantly different, however. The overall elevation is somewhat higher, and the topography is mostly steeper and more forested than Alishan. These factors, combined with the wind patterns that influence weather patterns create a cooler and foggier climate. This climate combined with less sun exposure due to the terrain produces a distinctive quality of High Mountain Oolong Tea. These growing conditions, combined with the fact that Shan Lin Xi Tea is produced by the highest population of Oolong Tea artisans on Taiwan have made Shan Lin Xi a favorite among premium Oolong Tea drinkers.
