Heping (Ho Ping) tea region is located near Heping Township un Taichung County. It is one of the highest altitude in Taiwan. Tea plantations are located in between 1600 to 2500 meters above sea level.

Tea trees are grown in this high and cold environment, making the tea leaf soft, thick with high content of pectin substances. This unique feature cannot be found on the teas grown in low altitude areas.

Tea liquor is golden yellow, clean and bright.

The winter was rather cold and with a lot of rains. Cold weather is good for tea grow and rains make tea leaves more rich.

This spring oolong is very good in taste.

Obvious floral fragrance, strong sweetness in the throat; brisk and smooth aftertaste with long-lasting sweet scent in the mouth.
