FINE TAIWAN TEA

Chinese people have enjoyed tea since the era of Shennong (the legendary "Divine Farmer" of ancient China, said to have discovered tea and medicine). Its history spans 4,500 years, and tea has become an indispensable part of our daily lives.

Taiwan, with a total area of about 36,000 square kilometers, is richly blessed in terms of terrain, soil, climate, and latitude — conditions ideal for tea cultivation. As a true tea-producing nation, Taiwan produces many types of tea, from unoxidized green tea, to semi-oxidized oolong tea, to fully oxidized black tea, each with its own distinct characteristics.

Taiwan's Three Great High Mountain Teas 

First is Taiwan's representative high mountain tea. "High mountain tea" refers to tea made from leaves grown at elevations of 1,000 meters or higher. Ali Mountain High Mountain Oolong, Shan Lin Xi High Mountain Oolong, and Li Shan High Mountain Oolong are together known as Taiwan's "Three Great High Mountain Teas."

Ali Mountain High Mountain Oolong is grown at 1,000–1,600m, Shan Lin Xi High Mountain Oolong at 1,400–1,800m, and Li Shan High Mountain Oolong in "sky gardens" between 2,000–2,600m. High mountain tea gardens are often shrouded in mist with shorter sunlight hours, resulting in tender buds, thick leaves, and high pectin content. The resulting tea has a concentrated umami flavor, low bitterness, and a gentle sweetness. Because Taiwan's mountains face many different directions, sunlight, temperature, humidity, and rainfall vary — so each mountain produces tea with its own unique character.

Dongding Oolong Tea | Tieguanyin Tea | Wenshan Baozhong Tea

Dong Ding Oolong, Tie Guan Yin, and Wenshan Baozhong tea were brought over from Fujian, China, and have over 150 years of history. Dong Ding Oolong has a clear golden color. Tie Guan Yin is repeatedly roasted, bringing out notes of ripened fruit and toasty aroma. Wenshan Baozhong has a rich umami taste and a refreshing orchid-like fragrance.

Oriental Beauty

Taiwan's unique Oriental Beauty Tea is grown in Emei, Beipu, and Miaoli. Made using young buds that have been bitten by leafhoppers, it has a naturally sweet, honey-like aroma.

Jinxuan Oolong Tea (Taicha No. 12) | Sijichun Oolong tea

Jin Xuan Oolong (Taiwan Tea No. 12) has a milky flavor. Si Ji Chun Oolong has strong vitality and can be harvested up to six times a year.

TAIWAN Black tea

Ruby Black Tea (Taiwan Tea No. 18), known as Taiwan's one-of-a-kind black tea, has undergone over 40 years of breed improvement since the Japanese colonial era, and carries notes of cinnamon and faint mint. There is also Honey Black Tea, prized worldwide for its vivid red color and sweet, honeyed aroma.
