Spending time slowly enjoying Lishan oolong is a chance for more intimate space with yourself.

This floral, refreshing and palate cleansing oolong tea has a creamy and thick texture.

To aficionados of Formosa oolongs the name Lishan is instantly recognized as one of the finest examples of the high quality whole leaf teas.

At 2200 meters above sea level, Lishan is among the highest peaks of the twelve that make up the Lishan Range, one of the premier tea growing regions in Taiwan. The combination of high elevation, northerly latitude and skilled craftsmanship produced a tea this spring with a rich sugar cane quality that yields a longer, more persistent finish.

Lishan Oolong costs £5.50 and comes in 20 gram foil packs.
