'''High mountain tea''' ({{zh|c=高山茶|poj=ko-san tê}}) refers to any [[tea]] grown in the alpine tea zones, higher than 1000m above sea level in [[Taiwan]]. One reason for such teas to be preferred is the belief that the air at this altitude is less [[Pollution|polluted]].
Taiwan's unique island geography - high mountain ranges at its center with high [[Humidity|humidity]] and natural [[Precipitation|precipitation]] - makes it a most suitable environment for growing tea.
Tea cultivators choose the mountain seeking areas with "high energies"; areas with an appropriately high level of exposure to the [[Sun|sun]], the [[Moon|moon]], and the [[Alpine climate|mountain climate]], from which sources the grown tea [[Adsorption|adsorbs]] its energies{{citation needed|date=November 2008}}. This "energy" manifests itself through the [[Aroma|aroma]] and flavor of the high mountain tea, which is appreciated with specialty, particularly [[Porcelain|porcelain]], tea-drinking utensils.
