All about Tea from Taiwan

Kill Green in Tea Production

Have you ever wondered why Japanese green teas are so bright green, while Taiwanese and Chinese ones are not. The reason lies in an additional process called de-enzyming or fixation.

Discovering Taiwanese Tea: A Collection of Helpful Books and Resources

Taiwan is not just a picturesque island but also the home of one of the world's most famous and high-quality teas – oolong. The culture of tea cultivation in Taiwan goes back centuries and reflects the influences of Chinese, Japanese, and European traditions. What turned this small island into a global hub for premium tea? Taiwanese tea is not just a beverage; it is a whole culture that mirrors the historical, ecological, and technological changes on the island over the centuries. Are you curious about how ancient tea traditions connect with modern technologies? How does an island that produces less than 1% of the world's tea lead in quality? You can discover the full depth of this fascinating world through books and official resources that unveil the unique aspects of Taiwanese tea culture.

Taitung County (臺東縣)

Taitung county (臺東縣) is the third largest county in Taiwan, located on the island's southeastern coast with the Pacific on its eastern border and the Central Mountain Range on the western. It has an area of 3515 kilometers, one tenth of Taiwan's area, and has a population of around 240000. Taitung county is a home of the “low attitude champion” Fulu Oolong Tea.

Types of teapots

No real tea party is complete without a teapot. What are they like?

Tael (兩) - what is it?

A lot of people wonder, why oolong packages, especially expensive, have so unusual weight - 37,5g or 56,25g. At first sight it seems, that such kind of weight doesn't have any sense and more easy offer standard European packages, divisible by 30 or 50 g, or use ounces (28,35g), which are used in USA. But in fact, 37,5g is neither more nor less than 1 tael - Chinese measure of weight, which is used very widely up to now in traditional Chinese medicine and tea trading.

Fu Shou Shan (Fushoushan)

Fu Shou Shan (Fushoushan) (福壽山) is a mountain located in Heping District, Taichung City at an altitude of 1,800-2,580 meters above sea level and surrounded by mountains. It spreads over an area of 800 hectares. The farm was originally established on 1 June 1957 when 100 Republic of China Armed Forces veterans were sent by Veterans Affairs Council to develop the area into an agricultural site. It was originally named "Li Shan Veterans Farm".

Tannins in tea

Many people cannot start the day without a cup of coffee, but there is a claim that tea invigorates the body more than coffee. And tannins - plant-based chemicals belonging to the group of phenolic compounds - help in this.

The Life Cycle of a Tea Tree

The tea tree, Camellia sinensis, undergoes an extraordinary life cycle, divided into several key stages. We would like to share insights into each of these stages, starting with the moment a seedling first sprouts from a seed, and concluding with the stage of old age, when the tree can still continue to yield tea leaves for decades, and how this impacts the final quality of the tea.

How to get rid a hangover with tea
