Description
Da Yu Oolong (Dayuling Oolong, 大禹嶺) is one of the most prestigious high-mountain teas from Taiwan, known for its extreme elevation, purity, and rarity.
Famous for growing at extreme altitude 2,600m+, the strong sun and cold misty air at these heights force the tea plants to grow incredibly slowly. This gradual growth produces concentrated flavour that is incredibly smooth with zero bitterness.

HOW TO BREW

Add tea leaves to a mug or teapot.
2. Add hot water
💧 300 mL (10 oz) 🌡️ 85–95°C (185–195°F)
Lighter oolongs → lower temp, darker/roasted → higher temp.
3. Brew
⌛3-4 minutes
3–4 minutes for the first steep, until very fragrant. Add an extra minute for each subsequent steep.
4. Serve
🍵Pour into a serving glass
Pour into your favourite cup / mug without leaves to prevent over-steeping.
SOURCE
📍Origin
Grown in Da Yu Ling (大禹嶺), high in Taiwan’s central mountain range along the slopes of Hehuanshan, between Taichung and Nantou.
⛰️ Altitude
Cultivated at very high elevations, around 2,000–2,600m. Sitting above the cloud line, where cool air and rugged terrain create ideal conditions for high mountain oolong.
🌤️ Growing Conditions
Misty mountain forests with large day–night temperature shifts help develop this tea’s clean, sweet, and highly aromatic profile.
