Overview of Alishan Wulong Jiaming
Alishan District is not only a famous scenic area, but also a famous tea production area. The Alishan Oolong tea produced is a representative tea product of Taiwan’s high mountain tea.
Due to the cold and cool climate in the high mountains of Alishan, with clouds and mist covering in the morning and evening, and short average sunshine, tea trees grow slowly. The tea buds and leaves are soft, the leaf flesh is thick, and the pectin content is high. In addition, the tea produced here is mostly irrigated with mountain spring water, which is sweet and delicious, with a strong mountain cold tea flavor, and can be called the world’s first-class good tea.
