Nicknamed “Formosa” – the beautiful island, Taiwan is blessed with rolling hills and a subtropical climate, with an average annual temperature of 25–28°C—ideal conditions for tea cultivation. This land produces a wide range of premium teas, each with its own distinctive flavor, making them true regional specialties.
🍵 Taiwanese Green Tea

Taiwanese Green Tea is primarily grown in Sanxia, south of Taipei. The finest tea buds are harvested in winter and spring, then carefully dried without oxidation to preserve their rich flavor and natural aroma. This results in a refreshing tea that helps detoxify the body and uplift the spirit. Notable varieties include Osmanthus Green Tea and the renowned Pi Lo Chun (Biluochun).

🍵 Taiwanese Oolong Tea

Taiwanese Oolong Tea is semi-oxidized (10–80%) with rich variety and multi-steep potential. Taiwan produces 20% of the world’s oolong, with over 25 types in the north. Notable kinds: Baozhong (floral), Tie Guan Yin (green tea notes), Dong Ding, Alishan, and the premium Da Yu Ling.

🍵 Taiwanese Black Tea

Taiwanese Black Tea has been cultivated since 1923, with the Sun Moon Lake region being most renowned. Fully oxidized, the tea offers a bold, rich flavor. Notable varieties include Ruby 18 and the increasingly popular Honey Black Tea, known for its natural sweetness created by leaf bites from tiny insects.

🍃 For decades, Taiwan has continually developed new tea varieties and reinvented the way tea is enjoyed. Moving beyond traditional hot brews, Taiwan pioneered innovative tea-based drinks that have taken the world by storm—becoming a cultural identity deeply rooted in many hearts. Without this rich cultural diversity, such unique beverages wouldn’t exist!
