Fu Shou Shan Mountain is the second highest peak of Taiwan’s Lishan mountain range. Tea plantations are surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, growing in the primeval forest, where the climate and water quality is exceptional. Huge differences between day and night temperatures make the plants develop hardy and strong. The soil is fertile, slightly acidic and is free from pollutions. It contains natural nutrients and trace elements, that helps tea leaves become soft and fragrant without being bitter.
Fushoushan Oolong tea is grown at an altitude of 2500 meters, where the cool, constantly moist conditions and the short, but strong sun exposure in the mornings create a uniquely intense flavor, which this varieatal is famous for. Also, it is one of the most regarded teas both in Taiwan and overseas, being the most highly-prized tea specialty of Taiwan at the same time.
The colour of the thick tea leaves is emerald green, fresh and they are hand-rolled into small balls.
The tea soup is clear, with golden-greenish colour and it comes with a unique feature: the more times Fushoushan Oolong is brewed, the purer and stronger the taste evolves, so it makes this tea highly enjoyable all day long. It has a buttery mouthfeel, complemented with the main notes of pear, but if the brewing time is longer its taste becomes more fruity and tropical. The aftertaste is very rich, sweet and persistent.
