Let us tell you a little more about Taiwan. Unlike most of other tea producing countries, Taiwan is quite simple in the terms of tea types and unbelievably complicated in flavors and scents. Whether it’s charcoal baked teas or bug-bitten oolongs and greens, every batch of tea we carry has its unique taste. Teas can either have a wide range of flavors from floral and milky note to fruity and nutty texture. We select a beautifully curated selection of teas that are perfect for both tea amateurs and connoisseurs.
“Just as French wine is different to wine from any other country, Taiwanese tea is markedly different to Chinese tea. This is mostly due to the soil in which it grows, the production techniques used, and of course the climate.” - owner of The Jade Leaf, Emilio Jose Del Pozo.
Taiwan’s most famous teas are those that come from the mountains or more commonly known the high mountain teas. Taiwan’s most distinctive mountains, include Alishan, Da Yu Lin, Li Shan, Fu Shou Shan, Shan Lin Xi and Qi Lai Shan, all produce delicious high elevation tea.
Taiwan's high elevation tea growing regions are among the highest in the world. At this altitude, tea leaves are exposed to cooler temperatures and shielded from the sun by perpetual mists. This produce teas that are less bitter, have rich character that is fruity to floral, both fruity and creamy, or buttery with a long finish that lingers in the throat. This is the unique character of Taiwanese high elevation tea.
