This premium-quality oolong tea is grown in the Li Shan mountain range at an altitude of 2400 meters. The climate of these high mountains is ideal for growing fine oolong tea. The cool air and high humidity produce a tea with full, robust flavor and long-lasting aftertaste.

The brewed tea has an exquisite aroma and brews to an appealing amber liquor. The leaves can can be re-brewed many times while maintaining a full flavor.

Tea grown on Mount Li (Li Shan or Pear Mountain) is the most prized oolong tea in Taiwan. It is ideally suited for gong fu style brewing.

This almost reminds me of a genmaicha with its toasted popcorn flavor. Lovely geranium note. Yet there is a spicy note there too. With each sip this tea keeps surprising! This is truly a tea to keep in your stash at all times!

I have to correct on my earlier statement: I actually took the exact temperature with a measure stick. According to me, the perfect temperature is 83 degrees Celsius for this tea. If you don't have a temperature stick, you can reach this by putting boiling water into another (big) cup first and waiting for a bit, or putting it into another big cup again and then pouring it into your teapot.

I agree with Che Wah L. that this tea, along with Wu Ling is the best of the teas offered here.

Another great tea, the best of selection together with Wu Ling. Compared to Wu Ling it is less floral and more nutty, but equally lovely. Again, as Wu Ling it doesn't like very hot water, I suggest almost green tea temperatures - 75-80 degrees Celsius. I have only brewed it in gaiwan, I think it is too delicate for yixing.

In my view this tea, together with Wu Ling, is the best in the collection. Hua Gang has a soft, pleasant flavour and smell, to me the finest in the selection here. Be careful not to pour too hot water on the tea, somewhere between 85 and 95 degrees is best.
