Oolong Tea · low oxidation · medium roast
Mount Ali is a lightly roasted oolong tea from Ali Shan, one of the best-known mountains for tea production in Taiwan.
Unknown to most, it also houses the largest grove of red cypress trees over 2,000 years old.
This Taiwanese oolong tea takes after its senior cypress neighbor: he is immediately striking. Made with the beloved milk cultivar, the buttery aroma is reminiscent of French pastry. Taste buttery brioche, nougat, and roasted chestnuts.

Company description not available.
Happy 7th anniversary, Té Company! I stocked up in celebration, so I’m trying to clear some space for the incoming teas. This was a delightful sipdown that I enjoyed to the last. It’s creamy, smooth, and fairly forgiving of oversteeping. I probably won’t restock this particular tea only because I tend to lean more towards roast, sweet, or floral notes in my unflavored oolongs. When I do want something creamy, I tend to want something I can latte, which this is just too good to do that to. So I’m glad I got it, I enjoyed it, but it’s not likely to be part of my standard Té rotation the way Oriental Beauty, Iron Goddess, and Ruby Brew are – and when I do want a straight creamy tea, the deliciously floral #2028 is more my speed.
