Let’s chat a bit about “tea plantation frost protection fans.” The first time the shopkeeper saw one was over a decade ago at Fushoushan Farm. At the time, I thought Fushoushan Farm was being quite kind by installing electric fans to cool down the tea trees. Turns out, it was the exact opposite—the fans are
With the impact of the pandemic, conflicts, and inflation, prices have soared over the past two years. Recently, Taiwan even faced an egg shortage, with tea eggs rising to NT$13 each. It seems the era of high inflation is truly upon us. /*! elementor – v3.10.0 – 09-01-2023 */ .elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=”.svg”]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block} As

Recently, water supplies in southern Taiwan have been critically low, and central Taiwan’s tea-growing regions aren’t doing much better. Heping District, Ren’ai Township, Zhushan Town, Meishan Township, and Zhuchi Township have all been seeing well below-average rainfall. March is the sprouting season for high mountain teas, and if it doesn’t rain soon, both the quality
It has been a full year since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war. The active military conflict has driven up the costs of fertilizer and transportation for Taiwanese tea, while also dealing a blow to sales—with Eastern Europe naturally taking the hardest hit. /*! elementor – v3.10.0 – 09-01-2023 */ .elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=”.svg”]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}
An irrigation system is a vital part of tea garden management and a facility that the store manager considers “must-have” for any high-quality tea farm. In high-mountain tea regions lacking regular rainfall, the chances of a tea garden without an irrigation system producing premium tea leaves are extremely low. Tea Garden Irrigation Systems Are Essential
You can tell whether a tea garden is well-managed just by looking at these photos. That irrigation system, built with an investment of millions, really proves its worth during dry spells. Take a look—the sprinklers even created a rainbow! How could tea grown like this not turn out exceptional? Dedicated tea farmers have been busier
Every once in a while, a customer asks if we sell tea grown under ginkgo or apple trees. Curious, the store manager asked and found out the customer heard these teas have a ginkgo or apple aroma. I almost passed out upon hearing that—aren’t ginkgo trees super smelly? ヽ(o＾▽＾o)ノ /*! elementor – v3.10.0 – 09-01-2023
Hello tea lovers, Lishan, the areas around Fushou Mountain Farm, and Dayuling do not produce early spring tea. Early spring tea is only found in mid-to-low altitude tea regions. Tea trees in regions above 1,000 meters only wake up from their winter dormancy in February, meaning spring tea won’t be ready until late March at
The news from a couple of days ago—”Water Shortage Crisis! Fenqihu and Alishan Villagers Fight Over Water, Pulling Pipes and Falling Out”—really gave us a shock. If people are fighting this hard just for daily household water, what’s going to happen to the water for the tea plants? We headed up to the Alishan tea
At 9:00 PM on March 25th, it started raining in Lishan. We got 40 millimeters of rain over 24 hours—a very welcome daily total. The only slight downside was that it only rained for a single day, falling a bit short of the three days and two nights the tea farmers were hoping for. Still,
As I mentioned a few days ago, this year’s spring tea is facing a water shortage. Not only is the yield down, but we are also seeing “premature leaf maturation,” and even JinXuan tea, which usually grows vigorously, is not spared. Based on experience, tea gardens without irrigation water this season are looking at a

In recent years, the production costs of Taiwanese tea have skyrocketed. Aside from massive spikes in fertilizer prices, labor costs have also surged due to widespread labor shortages. Taking high mountain tea regions as an example, the harvesting cost for 600 g of fresh tea leaves used to be NT$60, but by the winter tea
