How to Brew & Store This Tea

Choosing Water & Teaware

Tian Chi Li Shan Cha is one of our staple products — a tea harvested from gardens at an altitude of 2500–2600m in the highest-altitude area of Li Shan, prized for its smooth and creamy taste characteristic of high-altitude teas. To bring out its unique character, we experimented with very light roasting, which preserved the floral flavor while intensifying the sweet fragrance. The lightly roasted version has a more pronounced and elegant flavor compared to the delicate, subtle fragrance of the unroasted type.
