After multiple infusions, considering this light oolong for frequent drinking. I didn’t pick up floral notes as often as I’d done with my other favorite, Ali Shan. But I sensed fresh notes of moss and, indeed, the smooth body and fruity finish mentioned in the seller’s description. An enthusiastic thumbs up!
What is Ali Shan?
‘Shan’ means mountain, and Ali Shan is oolong from Mount Ali in Taiwan. It is usually quite lightly oxidized, which produces an oolong with more fruit and flower tastes and aromas. In contrast, the darker, heavily oxidized oolongs have a more toasty, woody flavor profile.
