Sencha Yabukita Green Tea 1kg

With a complex floral aroma and sweet, mouth-watering flavour, High Mountain Ali Shan (Alishan Gaoshan wulong, 阿里山高山烏龍) is an outstanding organic Taiwanese oolong and one of the stars of our loose-leaf tea collection.

Grown at 1500m above sea level, our Ali Shan is among the most famous of Taiwan's luxury High Mountain teas. There's much to love about this single-origin oolong, from its bright yellow infusion redolent with a mix of fresh and smoky notes, to its delicate apricot flavour and buttery-smooth mouthfeel. Enjoy its delicate sweetness throughout the day, or an hour or so after food, to aid digestion.

Sourced by Formosan Farms, which specialises in micro-batch Taiwanese teas, High Mountain Ali Shan is made from full, greenish-yellow leaves which are rolled into large balls. The tea owes its name to Taiwan's spectacular Alishan mountains national park, where it's grown. Here, the cool, cloudy conditions ensure the tea bushes grow more slowly, developing thicker leaves that are perfect for the bruising and robust rolling/curling treatment that oolongs typically receive as part of their production process.
