To save everyone the trouble of asking, I can confirm that the “2023 autumn tea harvest is a total washout.” Dayuling, HuaGung, Malieba Suspension Bridge, Cuiluan, Farm Edge, Cuifeng, Meifeng, Qilai Mountain, LongFengXia, along with the Lishan tea series, ShanLinXi tea series, and Alishan tea series—we didn’t purchase a single batch from any of them.
Today let’s talk about Biluxi tea. The traditional Biluxi tea region is located between the 95K and 99K markers on the Central Cross-Island Highway (marked by the red line in photo 2). Because the Biluxi River runs just below the tea plantations, tea industry insiders named the tea from this area Biluxi tea. During its
With high-mountain autumn tea missing from our lineup this year, many tea friends have been asking questions. Here are a few updates from the store manager regarding the 2023 autumn tea season: /*! elementor – v3.15.0 – 20-08-2023 */ .elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=”.svg”]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block} ================ Personal opinion doesn’t represent the whole picture: I sampled dozens
Without rain during the spring tea season, fertilizers couldn’t dissolve properly. But in August and September, there was too much rain, washing the fertilizer away—tea farmers are in big trouble now~😭 /*! elementor – v3.15.0 – 20-08-2023 */ .elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=”.svg”]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block} Many tea farmers applied fertilizer around the autumn tea harvest, only for
I know many of you are already familiar with this, but if even one person isn’t, then today’s casual chat is worthwhile~ Today we’re talking about “Fushou Mountain Farm Outer-Area Tea“. Fushou Mountain Farm Outer-Area Tea is also referred to as farm-edge tea, Fushou Lishan tea, or simply “outer-area tea.” As the name suggests, it
Ever since the mudslides caused by Typhoon Khanun, our store manager hadn’t visited the Cuifeng and Tunyuan Qilai Mountain tea regions for over a month. Hearing that the road to Tunyuan had reopened, he headed up the mountain a few days ago. Cleanup in Nanfeng Village is mostly done, and the gas station is almost
Our tea industry myth-buster series is back! Today, we’re talking about the “Lishan Tea Region scope“—what areas are actually included in the Lishan tea region? Table of Contents Lishan Tea Region Scope Tea cultivation in the Lishan area began around 1980. As time went on, the tea-growing region continuously expanded outward. Aside from the original
The winter tea season—the “final exam” for high mountain teas—has officially begun, and our first stop is the premier tea region: Lishan. Today, we’re bringing you an update on the growth of the winter tea in the back ranges of Lishan—specifically at Cuiluan and the Malieba Suspension Bridge head 👍👍 Conditions in the Cuiluan Lixing
Next up is the frontline of Lishan tea production: the areas around Fushou Shan Farm and the Sinjiayang settlement. Compared to the consistently above-average quality of the back mountains, the growth conditions in the front mountains are quite polarized, meaning we’ll have to put a lot more effort into sourcing this season~😅😅 Sinjiayang Settlement: Quite
Good evening, tea lovers! Typhoon Koinu has passed. Although there were still scattered rains in various regions today (October 7th), Lishan, Cuifeng, and Cingjing were fortunate enough to stay dry. The forecast points to a high chance of “consecutive sunny days” in the coming days, which might just bring out that legendary, phenomenal tea everyone
Here’s a quick update for everyone! The 2023 winter tea from Tunyuan, Lushan Tribe, and Qilai Mountain is shaping up nicely. Some of our tea plots are looking “exceptionally good.” Now it’s just a matter of patience—as long as the weather cooperates, we’re confident some truly phenomenal teas will be produced! 👍👍 First, a quick
Here is an update on a few things: 1. The weather forecast was off. Over the past couple of days, Lishan and Ren’ai Township have experienced heavy afternoon downpours. While the sun came out during the day, the “continuous sunny weather” we were hoping for never materialized, making the harvesting conditions less than ideal. 2.
Next is our key tea-producing region—Cifeng. This year, the quality of Cifeng tea leaves is “very good.” Harvesting started in early October and is now in full swing, running through late October to early November. Yields are looking above average, and as long as harvesting conditions remain favorable, there’s a strong chance for some exceptional
To sum up the condition of the winter tea from Songgang, Meifeng, and the front slopes of Cuifeng near Cingjing Farm in one phrase: “Fantastic.” The tea leaf quality is close to that of spring tea, and the yield is above average. We might even see some exceptional batches that surpass Lishan and Cuifeng. /*!
Now that the Cuifeng winter tea season has wrapped up, it’s time to turn our attention to the more under-the-radar DongYanShan tea region. This year, the DongYanShan winter tea harvest kicked off around October 22, entering peak harvest by the end of the month. When I went to check on the crop conditions on the
