The nationally renowned Bagua Tea Plantation is located right here in the Ruan’an tea region, which sits at an altitude of 1,100 to 1,300 meters. The Scenic Ruan’an Tea Region Tucked between Fanzitian, Sanshangping, LongFengXia, and Dalunshan,
Fanzitian saw a small amount of harvesting in early April, with peak production around April 20th, lasting until early May. Sancengping began harvesting around April 20th, peaked in late April, and wrapped up by early May.

On May 2nd, the store manager headed up to Budongyu to check out the tea harvest.

High-altitude Budongyu hadn’t
In early August, the store manager visited LongFengXia to check out the autumn harvest. Since Cuifeng and Lishan autumn teas were looking great, we originally expected LongFengXia Budongyu to be exceptional as well.

I went up to LongFengXia and Budongyu over the past couple of days to check on the winter tea crop. Just like other tea regions, we’re still seeing lower yields and some subpar tea leaves.

In late April, our store manager visited the ShanLinXi Fanzitian and Sancengping tea regions to check on the spring tea crop. It’s safe to say it’s a mix of good and bad news. On the bright side, the spring tea here is “much better” than in Alishan and Gukeng. Unfortunately, there is still quite a
On May 1st, I visited the key tea-producing regions of the ShanLinXi tea system: LongFengXia and Budongyu. Just to clarify, I only inspected tea gardens situated at an elevation of 1,700 meters and above in LongFengXia. The roads for the 1,300 to 1,650-meter sections are far too steep, and I skipped them out of concern
