Tea from Taiwan

Calling Taiwan Oolong Land is no exaggeration. Taiwanese teas are basically drunk by all Taiwanese, every day, all over the island and one could call oolong tea Taiwan's national drink. About 90 % of the tea production of Taiwanese tea consists of oolong teas and that means about half of the world production. This is a country with really nice tea houses, as well as many talented tea masters, many of whom brew tea according to the gong fu method and serve the brew in Taiwan's special cup kit with a special, narrow "scent cup".

The oolong tea's refining process of rolling and oxidation is complex, thus a certain obsession is required to make really good oolong and this obsession is plentiful in Taiwan. To satisfy the demanding population, you will find many small theme makers on the island. The knowledge and feeling of these themes creates unique tea characters and we thus find a great variety of nuanced oolong teas. Everything from very elegant, bright high-altitude lounges such as Hehuan Mountain oolong to darker, roasted varieties. Do not forget to try one of the world's most unique teas, Bai Hao, controlled infestation by the insect Jacobiasca formosana paoli triggers a cellular reaction in the leaves that creates a unique character, some compare it to nutmeg tones.
