Premium Taiwanese Oolong Tea

What is premium Taiwanese oolong tea?

Premium Taiwanese oolong tea is a partially oxidised tea grown in Taiwan’s high mountain regions (such as Alishan and Dong Ding). This careful processing — between green and black tea oxidation — creates complex flavours ranging from floral and fresh to richer, toasty notes. Taiwanese oolongs are known for smooth, low‑bitterness profiles and layered taste.
