A Tea Cup Dropped

This Lishan medium-grade tea is grown in China. It participates in all the same qualities of the Taiwanese Lishan high-mountain oolong: fruity, high-mountain oolong taste and aroma. In the 1990's, the Lishan tea varietal was introduced into Fujian province from Taiwan. Fujian, located in southeast China, has environmental and soil conditions that are similar to Taiwan's. Recognizing the progress that Taiwanese tea farmers and processors have made over the years in their ability to process oolongs, the Chinese also hired Taiwanese expert processors to prepare the tea. We think you'll find, as we do, much to commend in this excellent quality Lishan tea.
