Li Shan Oolong - Aged Since 2000
When tea is made with the intention of being set aside to become old tea, it is usually baked to an extreme degree. This tea has been aged for five years. There are two tea aging processes that are accepted in Taiwan. The most common method is to take the tea out once a year and re-bake it in a tea oven. This reduces the teas water content and thus protects the quality, extends the teas shelf life, and enhances the tea fragrance. The second method was used in the production of this tea and, involves no human intervention once the tea production has been completed. In this version, historical flavor is preferred over personal labor. It stands the test of time rather than bseing improved by human labor.
Li Shan, is a mountain range located in He Ping Village which is in Tai Zhong county. It is a high elevation growing region ranging in height from 4,921 ft to 7,874 ft. The area was donated by Taiwan’s government to out of work soldiers in the 1950’s and it soon became a growing region that is well known for its harvests of remarkable fruits, vegetables, and tea. The farm whesre this tea was grown is located in near Mt. Cue Ran which is a 5,000 ft mountain. Li Shan has a geology consisting of slate formed by black and deep gray shale deposit which results in very steep drop offs in elevation. These land features add to the risk of farming in the region that can be plagued with landslides caused by earthquakes and typhoons. Therefore, Li Shan farming is known as a high risk venture. Driving to Li Shan is dangerous and trips are often cancelled or delayed do to impassible road conditions.
