Why is the Tea So Popular?<\/h2>\n

Through out history, tea has been an important aspect of multiple cultures and rituals. In Asian countries, drinking tea is common practice in both social gatherings and business meetings. The four main types of tea are Oolong, Black, Green, and White. While Oolong tea only accounts for about 2% of global tea consumption, it can be referred to as Taiwan’s hidden treasure. Amongst all kinds, Alishan High Mountain Tea ranks the best Oolong tea.<\/p>\n

History of Taiwan Alishan Tea<\/h2>\n

Tea<\/a> has been sold and cultivated in Taiwan for more than two centuries. The earliest record of tea trees can be traced back to 1717 in what is present-day Nantou County. Possibly one of Taiwan\u2019s most famous products is its Alishan high mountain Oolong tea. Situated in the counties of Nantou and Chiayi, Alishan is a high mountain area in Taiwan famous for its Oolong tea. This mountainous region produced fruit orchards in the past but switched to growing tea when it became more profitable. The remains of plum orchards mixed in with the tea plantations are what give Alishan mountain teas their exquisite and unique sweetness.

Benefits of Alishan High Mountain Oolong Tea (Alishan Tea benefits)<\/h2>\n

\"Alishan-High-Mountain-Tea#01\"
\nOolong Tea provides robust health benefits when consumed regularly. Like both Green and Black tea, Oolong also originates from the camellia sinensis plant. However, the difference lies in how they are processed. For example, Oolong is partially fermented and semi-oxidized, giving it a taste in between black and green tea. Additionally, Oolong contains less fluoride than Green tea, but a similar amount of Caffeine at around 37mg per cup.<\/p>\n

The six main benefits of Oolong tea are:<\/p>\n

While there are clear benefits to drinking Oolong tea, it must be drunk in moderation. For one, it contains Caffeine, so anyone trying to avoid caffeine, including young children, as well as pregnant people should proceed with caution. Additionally, although Oolong tea contains naturally occurring fluoride, it can be counterproductive for those with certain thyroid conditions. Note that high quality organic teas tend to contain less fluoride than cheaply produced ones. It is recommended to drink two cups of Oolong per day to maximize the benefits.<\/p>\n

Why Alishan High Mountain Tea?<\/h2>\n

Alishan\u2019s high mountain teas are Oolong teas that grow above 1000 meters in the mountains of Taiwan. Alishan tea is grown between 1000 and 2300 meters of altitude. The higher the altitude, the better the quality of the tea and the more expensive.<\/p>\n

\"Alishan-High-Mountain-Tea#02\" \"Alishan-High-Mountain-Tea#03\"<\/p>\n

The typical Alishan Tea has an orchid aroma and a soothingly sweet taste. Two of the most famous tea production areas in Alishan are Zhong Shu Hu and Shi Zuo. Zhong Shu Hu has the perfect climate for producing Oolong tea with cool, damp air all year round. The area lies from 1300 to 1800 meters above sea level and is usually covered in fog. Shi Zuo on the other hand sits between 1300 and 1500 meters above sea level. It has a distinct deep red soil that is incredibly rich in nutrients which makes for excellent Oolong growing conditions. The tea strain, nutrients in the soil, elevation, and climate all play a role in the unique taste of Taiwan high mountain tea.
\nAlishan\u2019s geographical placement allows for an incredibly suitable alpine environment where tea plantations thrive. The high mountain conditions offer plenty of fog and low temperatures and the water used for irrigation comes from pure mountain springs. The cloudy environment with limited sunshine makes the tea grow slowly. This gives nutrients more time to achieve a higher concentration of pectin, a polysaccharide found in the cell walls of plants, resulting in an intense flavor when the leaves are brewed. The more pectin, the better the aroma and taste. The result is a tea with a slightly sweet and floral flavor. The combination of altitude, climate, and soil makes Alishan tea great for infusions even after multiple steeping\u2019s.<\/p>\n
