Taiwan produces many fragrant and gorgeous teas

Taiwan is not a big country, but it is surrounded by 3,000m class mountains. In addition to the essential elements for producing high-quality tea, such as the temperature difference between day and night and the fog that envelops the mountains, traditional techniques related to tea production from Fujian, a famous tea production area, are hand-crafted by artisans who love tea in this country. This has led to the production of a new type of tea with a particularly gorgeous aroma and character, and has grown into a major industry in Japan. In addition, Taiwan has sublimated tea drinking into a new tea culture, including its own brewing method using monko cups.

It is a production area that continues to fascinate tea lovers around the world with its fragrance.
