Description

Oolong tea from Taiwan. Formosa, meaning 'beautiful' was what the Portuguese explorers called this island. The oolong tea grown here continues to be called as such. The exquisite bouquet of Formosa Oolong tea is regarded to be the finest in the world. Complex floral notes echo on your palate as you enjoy this product of Taiwan's Ali mountain. Light bodied and softly sweet with an underlying complexity, this oolong will surely come to haunt. Perfect for multiple infusions.

"This tea is pricy, but so is a Ferrari. As a matter of fact I feel like someone with a Ferrari is sipping Ali Shan. Color is somewhat light which initially worried me, however, looks were deceiving. The best part is the honey flavor that lingers on the pallet. Take these five stars as but a modest gift to your greatness. Praise be to Ali Shan. "

"Quite a unique flavor, may be resteeped many times. Only problem is the price."

"Nice flavors w/ nice light sweetness. One of my current favorites w/ Ooooh darjeeling but both are a bit pricey. Really good 2nd and 3rd steeps too."

"This Tea is Amazing. For those of you familiar with Teavana, this is comparable to their High Grade Monkey Picked Oolong, it has a sweet honeysuckle like flavor. It tastes great upon multiple steepings (about 3). I found the second steeping to be by far the best. "

"I found this to be vegatal and slightly sweet on taste. However, not impressive enough to be out of the ordinary. For a more detailed review follow this link... http://steepster.com/teas/adagio-teas/107-ali-shan?post=48370"

"Didn't like this tea at all. Something about it, don't know what exactly, just threw me off."
