Why You'll Love This Tea
This oolong is a great choice after a meal to clear your palate and aid digestion, or as a five o'clock tea to freshen yourself up after an exhausting day. These pure tea leaves are packed with flavor and expand more and more as they brew. Steep the same leaves multiple times to draw out unique layers of flavor with each subsequent cup. Once you've brewed a cup, you may keep the steeped tea leaves in the fridge (out of water) to save and re-steep later in the day, or the next day, to get the most out of this exquisite tea!
This oolong was grown on Alishan, a famous Taiwanese tea mountain. The alpine environment provides an ideal climate for growing tea. Alishan teas are harvested twice a year and only the youngest leaves are picked.
This unique tea is called “Alishan Pearl Dew,” describing its exceptional qualities and character. Alishan has a special terroir for growing oolong teas with a smooth texture, full body and floral and milky flavors.

We love ETC’s mission to make some of the world’s best teas accessible to more people! They believe in ethical practices that support growers while respecting the environment, and much of the profit goes directly to tea farmers and professionals, as well as to promoting tea culture and tea education. To drive transparency in everything they do, they even offer a mobile platform for real-time product tracking, where you can input the batch number of your tea, and look up information about the source, timeline, and tasting profile of the tea - how cool is that?!
