Should You Really Buy High-Altitude Tea? This Product Might Help You Decide
High-altitude tea is grown in regions with big temperature differences between day and night, cooler temperatures, and frequent cloud cover. These conditions slow down the tea’s growth, keeping the leaves tender and rich in amino acids. This results in teas that are naturally sweeter, fresher, and more aromatic. High-altitude teas are perfect for light to medium oxidation and roasting levels. Examples of high-altitude oolongs include Taiwan High Mountain Tea and Phoenix Dan Cong.
Low-altitude teas, on the other hand, generally have higher levels of tea polyphenols, but tend to have a weaker aroma and lower endurance for multiple infusions.
This product features three Duck Shit Oolong teas, all crafted by the same tea master in Fenghuang Town with similar oxidation and roasting levels. The only difference is the altitude where they were grown, making it easy to compare how altitude affects the tea's flavor.
