Lishan high mountain tea is celebrated for its delicate, elegant aroma, crystal-clear and bright tea liquor, and smooth, refreshing taste—making it an absolute favorite among tea lovers. However, the Lishan tea region is vast, encompassing numerous sub-regions. Differences in slope orientation and altitude across these micro-regions give each tea its own distinct flavor profile. Let
The correct name is actually “Fushoushan Farm Tianchi Tea Plantation.” There is only one tea plantation here, which belongs to Fushoushan Farm. Another major feature of the Lishan Tianchi Tea Region is that it is the “second highest tea plantation” in all of Taiwan, sitting at an altitude of up to 2,490 meters, second only
A customer asked me the other day, “Why does your Lishan High Mountain Tea cost NT$3,000 per 600 g while other places sell it for just NT$600?” We get this question so often, so I figured I’d address it all at once~👩 Let’s break down the production costs of high mountain tea for you. Tea
When we talked about Fushoushan Tianchi Tea the other day, it turned out many people weren’t familiar with the Tianchi tea region. Today, let’s share a bit more trivia about “Fushoushan Tea.” /*! elementor – v3.16.0 – 12-09-2023 */ .elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=”.svg”]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block} Just like Fenqihu isn’t a lake and ShanLinXi isn’t a stream,
A tea lover asks: I previously bought some very expensive Lishan High Mountain Tea, but it didn’t taste very good. I suspect my brewing method might be wrong. I used pure water bought from a convenience store, heated to 100 degrees to brew. It was very fragrant, but the sweetness didn’t seem obvious, and the
Songgang is located just above Cingjing Farm, in the area known as Bowang New Village. This is the highest point of the Cingjing tea region, sitting at an elevation between 1,500 and 2,030 meters, where exceptional Songgang tea is produced. Songgang Tea Region: Elevations Ranging from 1,500 to 2,030 Meters There are only a few
The Tunyuan tea region is located in Ren’ai Township, Nantou County, roughly spanning from the Lushan tribe to the Tunyuan Mountain area in the Jingguan tribe. The tea gardens sit at altitudes ranging from 1,200 to 2,050 meters. Situated on the border of Nantou and Hualien, teas from this area were traditionally sold under the
The store manager visited the Cuifeng area to inspect the tea crops from April 24 to April 30. Some tea farmers had already started harvesting on April 24, and the harvest peaked around April 26. The weather remained clear and sunny throughout the entire week from April 24 to 30. /*! elementor – v3.7.8 –
A couple of days ago, I saw a competitor selling Fushoushan and Biluxi tea. Thinking the tea master didn’t give me a heads-up about the harvest, I rushed up the mountain, only to find out I’d been bluffed by the competitor—nothing had been harvested around Fushoushan Farm and the 88K marker yet, and the tea
On May 8th and 9th, our store manager visited Lishan, HuaGung, and the Cuiluan community. Most of the tea gardens around the lower areas of Cuiluan (below 1,600m) had already finished harvesting. Harvesting was about halfway done from the community up to the Cuiluan Church, while areas from the church up to HuaGung had not
By August 15th, a large portion of the Cuifeng, Cingjing, Songgang, and Meifeng autumn teas has already been harvested. Industry peers who haven’t stocked up yet should act fast—this year’s Cuifeng and Cingjing teas are truly “exceptional in both quality and quantity,” and you’d be doing yourself a disservice not to buy a bit more.
While visiting the tea region recently, our store manager had quite an eye-opening experience, this time regarding the rent for farmland in Lishan. How much do you think a 582-square-meter plot of deep mountain farmland goes for in annual rent, given that it’s a 30-minute walk from the main road and accessible only by muddy
The winter tea in the Malieba and Cuiluan tea regions is growing better than that in the main Lishan tea region. While it’s not quite a bumper harvest, yields have held steady, and the leaf thickness is quite good. The store manager is rather optimistic about this year’s winter tea from Malieba and Cuiluan. /*!
I visited the Cuifeng tea plantation to check on the winter harvest over the past couple of days. The plots sitting between 1,900 and 2,100 meters will be ready to pick in about a week. What’s more surprising is that many tea gardens below 1,900 meters have just started sprouting. Whether it’s due to a
With northern Taiwan experiencing a week of continuous rain, many tea lovers up north have been messaging the shopkeeper to ask if the winter harvest will be affected. Rest assured, everyone—Lishan, Heping District in Taichung, and Ren’ai Township in Nantou have all enjoyed great weather over the past few days, making conditions ideal for harvesting
