Special features in location, cultivation and processing
Taiwan’s Li Shan ("Pear Mountain") is not only one of the finest tea-growing regions in the country due to its alpine terroir, but also captivates with its scenic diversity. The seasons transform Li Shan throughout the year: spring adorns it with vibrant wildflower meadows, winter blankets it in deep snow, and summer brings extensive orchards of highland fruits, including apples and the pears that give the mountain its name. Many of the tea plantations today are rooted in the nutrient-rich soil of former pear orchards, which once covered the slopes but have been increasingly replaced by tea cultivation in recent decades. The high-altitude climate, with its significant temperature fluctuations and cool, humid air, slows plant growth and enhances the delicate texture of the leaves – two key factors that contribute to the prized fruity-floral aroma of Li Shan tea.
