Customer Inquiry: Hello, I’m looking for affordable tea for daily cold brewing and making tea bags. I found some cheap tea selling for NT$100 per 600 g, but the taste is terrible, and I suspect it might be Vietnamese tea. Do you have affordable Taiwan-grown tea for sale? Where is it from, and what variety is it?
Affordable Locally Grown Tea
Liao Chang Xing: Hello Mr. Tsai. Your suspicion is spot on. The cheapest Taiwanese tea costs around NT$300 per 600 g, and that is only attainable during peak harvest season with machine harvesting and wholesale purchasing. If it sells on the market for NT$100, the production cost is around NT$60, which makes it almost certainly not Taiwanese tea.
If you are looking for affordable tea, you can choose JinXuan or SiJiChun tea produced in Songboling. Spring tea costs around NT$300 per 600 g, while winter tea is slightly more expensive. If you buy a full 18 kg bag, you can get it for under NT$10,000. It makes great quality tea for cold brewing or tea bags, and it is very cost-effective. The SiJiChun tea from the past two years has been of exceptional quality. Its unique varietal aroma is very popular and stands out wonderfully when cold-brewed. Highly recommended.
If you want to buy affordable tea in smaller quantities, Liao Chang Xing offers Songboling SiJiChun and JinXuan teas, with a full 18 kg bag priced around NT$10,000. If you buy multiple bags at once, the price can be lowered even further. Feel free to reach out to us~
