Oolong is a partially fermented tea, ranging from 10-50% fermentation. Partial fermentation lends a unique combination of the freshness of green tea and the mellowness of black tea. Taiwan produces the most exquisite of all oolongs due to the highly refined processing technology as well as the artful tea masters.

Taiwan High Mountain Oolong belongs in a class its own for tea connoisseurs. Holsome’s High Mountain Oolong is produced in the Lu San region of central Taiwan at a minimum of 2,000 meters (>6,500 ft) above sea level.

The Unique growing conditions of cooler temperatures, foggy nights, misty days, short sun exposure and rich forest soil gift the tea with an extraordinarily rich taste and aroma.

Holsome employs an exclusively contracted tea processing facility in Lu San, through which the highest quality tea leaves are personally scouted for and contracted. Only the finest spring and late winter harvests by skilled workers are sold at Holsome.

At Holsome, our Oolong is processed with minimal fermentation to yield a special “Green Oolong” which affords a sweet, flowery and fruity bouquet. The tea has a garden green color with no bitterness, even after multiple brewings.

Holsome offers Spring and Winter tea in “Supreme” and “Special” grades, the two highest grades available in production. For a limited quantity and a limited time, Holsome offers prize winning competition grade tea in April and November of each year. Please call us in advance if you wish to order.
