Taiwan: The Island of Elegant Oolongs

From the lush, high-altitude estates of Alishan and Lishan—where gardens stretch above 1,000 meters—to the rolling valleys of Nantou, every region imparts its own unique character to cup. Taiwanese teas are famed for their delicate, floral aromas, creamy textures, and artful hand-rolling, reflecting centuries of mastery and innovation. Here, tea is more than a drink—it’s a heritage shaped by pure air, rich soils, and gentle ocean breezes.
