In Yuchin township, several small villages are working with the Yuchin Branch Tea Research and Extension Station to determine the best ways to revive interest in this unique black tea.
Quality tea ( rather than quantity ) is the focus, and accordingly, these teas are carefully plucked by hand. Sun Moon Lake black tea has very large, thin, and twisted leaves and a soft,
delicate flavor with a suggestion of sweet osmanthus, cinnamon and peppermint. Our tea, however, is even more special. It is made in February by our friend Lisas great-uncle, a gentleman and former tea man in the Sun Moon Lake region. It is made with leaf from 100-yr-old tea trees that are the original, wild tea trees, and it is hand processed only once a year. He doesn't sell his tea on the open market but makes just a bit for friends and family. We are thrilled to be included in this select group of those who are privileged to drink this fine tea. This tea is delicious and has a good amount of dynamic Qi which stems from the organic cultivation, healthy growing conditions and careful cultivation of these deeply-rooted 100 year old tea trees. The quantity of tea that we have to sell is tiny, so if you are interested in experiencing this truly delicious tea, you must act quickly.
