Frosty Peak, Famous Chinese Oolong Tea

Frosty Peak is Taiwan's most popular Oolong tea. It has been cultivated for over two hundred years on the slopes of the mountain from which it takes its name. Covered in snow all year round, the plantations are located high on the Frosty Peak so that even on a warm and sunny day, the air is filled with an icy coolness.

Frosty Peak is a consistent winner of the regular Oolong tea competions that have been held in Taiwan since 1972, initiated to encourage farmers to continue improving the quality of their production methods (as a result, Taiwan is now the technically most advanced producer of Oolong tea in the world).

Naming this tea after the mountain on which it is grown is a recognition of the effort made by the producers and pickers of this tea, having to scale this hazardous mountain throughout the year, traversing the slippery mountain trails laden with baskets of tea.

Aroma: deep and uplifting, with a slight tartness

Infusion: from golden green to amber

Taste: rich with honey, notes of walnut in the finish

Healing properties
Frosty Peak improves the mood, normalizes the body's metabolism, improves skin and cleanses the blood. Frosty Peak is also highly recommended for weight loss.
