Lishan tea is managed primarily by private operators, with the exception of Fushoushan Farm and Wuling Farm, meaning there is no official fixed price for Lishan tea. Even so, pricing by producers in the region generally follows the lead of Fushoushan and Wuling farms, making the prices set by these two state-run farms a reliable standard.
Fushoushan Farm sits at an altitude of 2,200 to 2,500 meters, and its tea is priced at NT$10,000 per 600 g for “Exquisite Oolong Tea” and NT$7,000 per 600 g for “Selected Oolong Tea.” Wuling Farm’s tea gardens are located at an altitude of about 1,900 meters, with its “Exquisite Premium Oolong Tea Set” (3 cans, totaling 225 g) priced at NT$3,000, and the “Wuling Changqing Tea Set” (2 cans, totaling 300 g) priced at NT$1,750.
While prices for Lishan tea leaves within the region largely follow these two farms, tea from the higher-elevation Dayuling and HuaGung peaks is typically more expensive, with Dayuling tea reaching NT$12,000 per 600 g. Additionally, some producers offer Lishan tea with production traceability and organic certification, selling it domestically for NT$20,000 per 600 g, and exporting it overseas for NT$40,000 per 600 g.
In reality, Lishan tea does not have a strict fixed market price, but due to severe supply shortages, the market price for Lishan tea generally starts above NT$2,500 per 600 g. Consumers should exercise caution if the price seems unusually low.
