High-mountain tea or gaoshan tea (Chinese: 高山茶; pinyin: gāoshān chá; pronounced [káʊ.ʂán ʈʂʰǎ]) refers to several varieties of Oolong tea grown in the mountains of central Taiwan. It is grown at altitudes higher than 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) above sea level, and includes varieties such as Alishan, Dayuling, Yu Shan, Wushe, and Lishan. The high humidity and natural precipitation in the high mountain ranges of Nantou and Chiayi Counties make the region a suitable environment for growing tea plants. High Mountain green teas can be characterized as tender, green, and sweet, with certain production processes also revealing notes of chestnut. Generally, high mountain teas are high sweet, high fresh, and low bitterness, making it more appealing to consumers. The fermentation process that removes the harsh ingredients allows the tea to taste flavorful.
