Peaking at 2200 meters above sea level, Lishan is the third highest mountain in the Lishan Range. The garden from which this tea is harvested lies at approximately 2000 meters (6500 feet) above sea level, an elevation that yields temperate weather in the summer and light snow fall in the winter.
At this elevation, the tea plants are exposed to strong sunshine only in the morning before they are quickly enshrouded in mist. This short sun exposure allows the leaves to produce intense flavor compounds, but tempers the bitterness that can result from over-exposure. The cooler temperature also slows the plant's metabolism, enabling the leaves to retain and store more flavor compounds.
Initial infusions yield a tea that is smooth and sweet with a hint of sugarcane and tropical fruits. Longer infusions yield intense floral and citrus notes over a viscous foundation of buttercream that seems to cling to our palates.

Our Offering
Elevation and craft come together in this limited-harvest Li Shan High Mountain Oolong.
Grown at 2,000+ meters in Taiwan’s Central Mountain Range, each leaf unfurls with layers of buttery florals and crisp sweetness that linger through multiple steeps.
This small-lot tea was hand-picked in spring 2025 and finished with a light bake to emphasize its creamy texture.
Background of the tea
Li Shan (梨山 — “Pear Mountain”) is one of Taiwan’s most revered high-mountain tea regions.
Cool temperatures, frequent mist, and rich soil slow leaf growth, creating exceptional depth of aroma and flavor.
Farmers here harvest only a few times per year, hand-rolling each batch in small workshops overlooking the valleys of Taichung County.
Hygge Panda’s 2025 batch comes direct from the Master Fang.
