Shopping Guide

Who this oolong is for

This is a light, floral high-mountain oolong for someone who wants a smooth cup rather than a bold, heavy one. The aroma is fresh and floral with a clean, crisp quality, and the flavor is smooth and gently sweet with mellow body and soft vegetal undertones. The liquor is a bright green-gold, and the finish is naturally sweet and refreshing, with a lingering returning sweetness.

Caffeine is moderate: less than coffee, with natural L-theanine for calm focus. It is not caffeine-free, so if you need to avoid caffeine entirely, this isn't the tea. If you want a heavier, bolder-bodied cup, this lighter style isn't it either.

How to choose if this is the tea for you

This guide covers one tea, so the decision is how you like to drink it. For a lighter cup, steep 2–3 minutes in water at 212°F / 100°C; for more depth, steep up to 5 minutes. Each tea bag can be steeped 2–3 times, which suits you if you would like more than one cup from a bag. For a cold version, put 2 tea bags in 600 ml / 20 oz of water and refrigerate for 8–10 hours.

Common questions

How much caffeine does this oolong have compared to coffee? It has less than coffee. The listing describes the caffeine as moderate, with natural L-theanine for calm focus. It is not caffeine-free, and no milligram figure is given, so if you track your intake closely, treat it as a moderate-caffeine tea rather than a low-caffeine one.

How many cups can I get from one tea bag? Each tea bag can be steeped 2–3 times, so one bag can make more than one cup. For hot brewing, use water at 212°F / 100°C and steep 2–3 minutes for a lighter cup, or up to 5 minutes for more depth. The listing does not say how the flavor changes between steeps.

What kind of tea bags are these, and is the packaging plastic-free? They are full-leaf tea bags in plastic-free packaging. The tea is a high-mountain oolong, lightly oxidized and gently rolled with minimal roast. The listing does not say what the tea bag material itself is made of, so the plastic-free claim is stated for the packaging only.

Is this oolong sweet, and does the sweetness last? Yes, gently. The flavor is described as smooth and gently sweet, and the finish as naturally sweet and refreshing, with a lingering returning sweetness. The aroma is fresh and floral, and the body is light to medium with a silky finish. The listing does not say what produces the sweetness or give a sweetness level.

Can I cold brew this oolong, and how? Yes. The brewing guide gives a cold brew ratio of 2 tea bags in 600 ml / 20 oz of water, refrigerated for 8–10 hours. Hot brewing is covered too: 212°F / 100°C water, steeped 2–3 minutes for a lighter cup or up to 5 minutes for more depth. The listing does not say whether cold brewing changes the flavor.

I really enjoy this tea. It is smooth and not bitter and I like the fact that I'm drinking something that is healthy.

Thank you so much for enjoying our 1000M Oolong and becoming part of our DAE Tea community!

The best oolong tea I've ever had

I've been looking for a high mountain oolong tea for years and this is it. The 1000M Oolong is incredibly smooth — absolutely zero bitterness, which was always my problem with cheaper oolongs. The floral aroma when you open the bag is beautiful. I've completely replaced my morning coffee with this and honestly don't miss it at all. The full leaf tea bags are so much better than the dusty stuff in regular bags. Will be ordering again.

Finally an oolong that tastes like Taiwan

My family is from Taiwan and I grew up drinking high mountain oolong tea — it's so hard to find the real thing in the US. DAE Tea's 1000M is the closest I've found to what we used to drink at home. Smooth, naturally sweet, with that delicate floral finish. The plastic-free tea bags are a nice touch too. Ordered the 15-bag pack and already thinking about my next order.

Perfect caffeine alternative to coffee

I was looking for a caffeine alternative to coffee that wouldn't give me the jitters and this is exactly it. The 1000M Oolong gives me a gentle energy boost without any anxiety — I think it's the L-theanine. The taste is smooth and slightly sweet with a really lovely floral note. I brew it at 100°C for 3 minutes and it's perfect every time. My new morning ritual.

Great introduction to Taiwanese oolong

I'd never tried Taiwanese oolong tea before and wasn't sure where to start. The 1000M Oolong was recommended as a good starting point and it really is. It's smooth and approachable — not too strong, not too light. I cold brewed it overnight and it made the most refreshing iced tea I've ever had. Genuinely couldn't believe how naturally sweet it was with no added sugar.

Lovely everyday tea

Really nice high mountain oolong. Smooth, fragrant, and easy to brew. I've been re-steeping each bag twice which makes it great value. The second steep is actually even silkier than the first. My only note is I wish there were more bags in the pack — I go through them quickly! Definitely ordering the subscription next time.

Smooth and naturally sweet daily ritual

This is my third order and it keeps getting better. The high mountain oolong character is unmistakable — clean, floral, zero bitterness. I drink two cups every morning and it sets the perfect tone for the day. The plastic-free full leaf tea bags make it feel like a premium experience every single time.

Best oolong tea bags I've tried

I've tried many Taiwanese oolong tea bags and these are the best. The full leaf makes such a difference — the flavor is so much more complex and smooth than standard broken leaf bags. The 1000M elevation really comes through in the clean, mellow taste. Re-steeps beautifully too.

My whole family is hooked

I ordered one pack to try and now my entire household drinks this. My husband who only drinks coffee tried it and now has a cup every afternoon. The smooth high mountain oolong flavor with no bitterness is what wins everyone over. We've subscribed monthly now.

About 1000M Oolong

Your daily ritual, grown above the clouds. DAE Tea’s 1000M Oolong is a high mountain Taiwanese oolong tea harvested from leaves grown over 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) above sea level — where cool mountain air, persistent mist, and mineral-rich soil come together to create something truly special. Smooth, naturally sweet, and completely bitterness-free.

High mountain oolong tea is unlike anything grown at lower elevations. At 1,000 meters, temperatures drop significantly, and the tea plants grow slowly — far more slowly than lowland varieties. That unhurried growth is what makes all the difference. The leaves have more time to develop complex aromatic oils and natural sugars, concentrating flavor in a way that simply cannot be rushed. The result is a cup that is mellow, vibrant, and deeply satisfying — without a trace of the bitterness that puts many people off tea.

We chose this tea as our signature for a reason. It’s the one we come back to every single day. Whether you’re easing into a quiet morning, finding focus in the middle of a busy afternoon, or winding down before bed, a cup of 1000M Oolong has a way of making everything feel a little more still.


Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh and floral — delicate mountain florals with a clean, crisp quality that opens up beautifully as the tea steeps.

Flavor: Smooth and gently sweet, with a mellow body and soft vegetal undertones. No bitterness, no astringency — just a clean, balanced cup that feels effortless to drink.

Body: Light to medium, with a silky finish that lingers pleasantly.

Finish: Naturally sweet and refreshing — what tea lovers call “hui gan” (回甘), the gentle returning sweetness that blooms quietly after each sip.

Liquor: Bright, luminous green-gold in the cup.
