Why We Won’t Be Buying 2022 HuaGung Ding and Dayuling Winter Tea

People keep asking when HuaGung Ding and Dayuling will be available. HuaGung Ding was harvested back in September, but I didn’t get to taste it and didn’t stock any. Dayuling harvesting started just a few days ago, and barring any surprises, we won’t be buying any either—so tea lovers can stop waiting. Wholesale prices for

Growth Status of Fanzitian and Sanweicheng Winter Tea in 2022

I went up to check on the tea at Fanzitian and Sanweicheng over the past couple of days, and it’s the same old issue: very sparse growth, or things are just moving too slowly. Even in late October, the leaves are still tender, feeling quite a bit delayed. A few tea gardens at higher elevations

Why We Are Skipping the 2022 Cingjing, Qilai Mountain, and DongYanShan Winter Teas

Apologies to everyone, but due to quality considerations, we will not be purchasing many items of this Winter Oolong season. Cingjing Meifeng, Cingjing Songgang, Qilai Mountain, Tunyuan, and DongYanShan are officially “sitting this one out,” so tea lovers don’t need to wait for them. The Winter Oolong from these tea regions can only be described

Growth Conditions of 2022 Alishan, Zhuqi, and Meishan Winter Tea

In early November, the store manager visited Zhuqi and Meishan in Chiayi to check out the tea harvest, and to put it bluntly, “it’s an absolute disaster.” This year, winter tea yields are scarce from northern to southern Taiwan, and Alishan winter tea is no exception. It’s bad enough that there’s less tea this year,

Smooth Shipping to China Lately

These yellow boxes are shipments bound for China. Customs over there have been “fairly normal” lately. Unlike back in April and May when packages took two months to arrive, they’re now delivering in just 7 days. If you’re looking to send shipments to China, now is the time. Our shipment volume has doubled over the

Famous Tea Regions Don’t Always Produce Great Tea

Hey tea lovers, the 2022 high mountain winter teas are now fully online. Today, the store manager checked the Ruifeng, Taihe, and Zhangshuhu tea regions and couldn’t find anything good, so those items are officially “absent” this season. If you’re looking to stock up all at once, you can place your order now. Thoughts on

You Really Can’t Skimp on Tea Fertilizer

Fertilizer prices have skyrocketed over the past two years. Common 20kg soybean meal fertilizer has jumped from NT$500-something to nearly NT$700—an increase of about NT$150. Assuming 200 bags of fertilizer are applied per chia (approx. 0.97 hectares), that’s an extra NT$60,000 a year just on fertilizer, leaving many tea farmers feeling the pinch. High-mountain tea

Tea Garden Management is Truly Critical

Proper tea garden management is truly critical. Good management not only boosts yield, but also improves quality year after year. When managed poorly, a sudden decline in a tea garden is far from rare. Over the past few years, the store manager has witnessed cases of failed tea garden management in Lishan, Alishan, Cingjing, and

Status of the 2022 High Mountain Winter Sprout Oolong

Reporting to all tea lovers: from mid-November to early December, the store manager tasted nearly 20 batches of High Mountain Winter Sprout Oolong and “didn’t find a single good one.” Therefore, the 2022 High Mountain Winter Sprout Oolong is definitely off the table. That’s two years in a row without selling High Mountain Winter Sprout

Frost in the High Mountain Tea Regions

A cold wave has hit over the past couple of days, and frost has started forming in the high mountain tea regions. While frost isn’t anything out of the ordinary up in the mountains, tea farmers still can’t let their guard down when a cold snap arrives. The tea plants inevitably suffer some frost damage,

Tea Inventory List

#Updated March 26, 2024 Hello tea lovers, here is our tea inventory update for March 26.

Machine-Harvested CuiYu Tea is Sold Out

Thank you, everyone! Our machine-harvested CuiYu tea is officially sold out~ This batch of ‘Songboling CuiYu’ is an absolute favorite of mine—incredible value for the price. We originally bought a huge volume to secure a great rate, planning for it to “last the whole year.” I never expected it to sell out in just over
