High Mountain Er-Shui Summer Tea Harvest Underway

You read that right—high mountain areas also harvest summer tea, known as Er-Shui tea! Many people think high mountain teas are only harvested in the spring and winter, but Er-Shui summer tea is also harvested, and in quite significant quantities! /*! elementor – v3.13.3 – 28-05-2023 */ .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} This year has

Withered Tea Trees

The 2023 drought may be the biggest disaster in Taiwan’s tea history. A tea farmer told our store manager that his spring tea had a “zero harvest,” meaning six months of labor yielded nothing, plus out-of-pocket fertilizer costs. But he wasn’t even the most unfortunate one. What is the worst-case scenario? The answer is dead

Tea tree stumping (pruning for dwarfing) is a vital part of tea plantation management and a key indicator for tea merchants to assess how well a farm is maintained. Regular pruning and dwarfing do wonders for improving quality! When buying tea, our store manager always looks for plantations where the bushes are kept short and

Taiwan’s Ecology is Improving

The ecology of Taiwan’s tea regions is getting better! Visiting the tea farms over the past few years, I’ve noticed more and more wild animals—wild boars, Reeves’s muntjacs, rabbits, Swinhoe’s pheasants, and monkeys—many of which are quite used to humans.

Typhoon Doksuri Approaches

As Typhoon Doksuri approaches, high-mountain fruit farmers have been on edge these past few days, terrified that a single mishap could wipe out a whole year’s worth of hard work. Tea farmers, by contrast, remain remarkably calm and relaxed. 😊 ================ Part of the reason is that tea plants are much more resilient against strong

The Steamed Rice Controversy

#SteamedRice #RiceControversy #StirFry Pardon me for lacking fresh content the past couple of days, just jumping on the trending bandwagon. 😂😂😂 It’s pretty wild how a situation like this ended up being a lose-lose for everyone. Honestly, I don’t think the students did much wrong. Eating an average of 1.2 bowls of rice per person

2023 Lishan Xinjiayang Farm Border Autumn Tea

On August 2nd, I headed up to Duda Village on Qilai Mountain to check out how the autumn tea was coming along.

Vietnamese Tea with a Cost of NT$146 per 600 g

Another batch of Vietnamese tea passed off as Taiwanese tea got busted. The frequency of these crackdowns lately shows the government is finally doing its job.
