Taiwanese High Mountain Oolongs
Grown Above the Clouds
High mountain Taiwanese oolongs are grown in elevated tea regions where cool mist, strong sunlight, and wide temperature shifts slow the growth of the tea leaves.
This slower growth allows the plant to develop a more concentrated flavour, creating teas that are smooth, aromatic, and naturally sweet.
Slower Growth, Deeper Flavour
Unlike everyday teas, high mountain oolongs carry a strong sense of origin. The altitude, mountain air, soil, rainfall, and season all influence the final cup.
This is why teas from places like Alishan, Lishan, Shanlinxi, and Dayuling can each have their own character — from soft and creamy to floral, bright, or deeply layered
Produced Across Japan’s Tea Regions
Genmaicha is not tied to just one single region. It is commonly made wherever Japanese green tea is produced, especially in major tea regions such as Shizuoka, Kagoshima, Mie, Kyoto/Uji, and Fukuoka/Yame.
