Ali Shan High Mountain Tea Ding Hu

Taiwanese oolong tea

Ali Mountain is famous for its fog rising almost every afternoon from the nearby valleys, and fog is the key to the most aromatic teas. That and the reduced sunlight accentuate the cultivar's floral-creamy scent. Ding Hu, 1650 meters above sea level, stands as the highest peak in the Ali Shan Tea District. The tea plantation benefits from its forest surroundings, offering a distinctive advantage in soil water-holding capacity during periods of water scarcity.

TASTE NOTES:
The steamed leaves are already foretelling a milky sweetness. The first flush is silky and subtle, milky, and floral with a faint fruity undertone. The fruitiness gets stronger with each infusion. The aftertaste is characteristically verdant with a light grip on the back of the tongue.

The later infusions are getting milkier, but at the same time more verdant, leaving a clean, fresh mouthfeel.

How to prepare


3 g 0.1 oz 0.7 US tsp	95°C 203°F	100 ml 3.4 fl oz 100 cc	30 sec.~

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Rinse. Put the tea leaves in your vessel, pour hot water over them and then discard the water quickly. This step is for "waking the leaves" a little bit.
STEP 3) Brew. Pour boiling water on your rinsed tea leaves and brew for 30 seconds.
STEP 4) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 5) Brew again.

❖ After the first few infusions, you can increase the steeping time (to about 35-40 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.
