New York Tea Lovers Show Up At The Nantou Global Tea Expo

November 10, 2015 2 Comments

On October 10th, Double Ten Day — National Day of the Republic of China, as we began winding down the 6th annual Global Tea Expo, we had the opportunity to host some tea people from New York! Michele, Jo, and Darlene had just attended an international Arts conference and were heading back to Taipei that afternoon to fly back to the USA the next day.

Our guests only had a couple hours to spend at the expo before catching the high speed rail to Taipei, and were clear about wanting to shop for tea and tea ware. So I escorted them through the throngs of shoppers and dozens of tea stalls in an attempt to meet their requests. They were able to pick up some interesting items in the short time they had, and appreciated my assistance in guiding and translating for them in their conversations with the tea farmers they met. Hopefully next time they will have more time to participate in the various cultural events that are an essential aspect of the Nantou Global Tea Expo.

Hi Andy,

It was a pleasure to meet you. I really appreciated you touring us around the market. So much too see, but so little time……

Thank you so much for capturing a quick moment of our face pace visit to the fair. Looking forward to another visit and hopefully a chance to sit down and have some Eco Cha tea.

I’m interested in your tea club. Is teaware going to be included in any of the shipments? I’m a teaware collector and have been looking for a club which includes tea accessories along with tea.

Thanks again,

Darlene

Happy Dragon Boat Festival!

June 18, 2018

Our friend, and go-to teaware vendor for over 20 years, knows that we are always looking for interesting styles of teaware. When he sent us photos of this pretty decorative teapot, crafted in the shape of a swimming fish, only weeks before Dragon Boat Festival, we instantly recognized the cultural significance. To help celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, we're offering you this special-edition teapot along with 75g of Tie Guan Yin Oolong tea for a limited time!

Eco-Cha Tea Club: Light Roast Phoenix Village Oolong Tasting Notes

June 17, 2018

The truth is, our favorite batches of traditionally made Taiwanese Oolongs have come from this community of family owned farms in the foothills of Phoenix Mountain in Lugu Township. We've been told it's the soil, and the mid-elevation climate that is most conducive to making a traditionally made Oolong Tea. But in our own perception, it's the expertise that comes from generations of tea making that results in the character of tea that we love the most.

Eco-Cha Tea Club: Light Roast Phoenix Village Oolong Tea

June 13, 2018

We recently visited Mr. Liu when we hosted a visitor from Italy who was keen on experiencing the local tea culture. Our guest was truly elated to be served tea by a true artisan of the trade. Mr. Liu served us three different teas that were all locally harvested this past spring. They varied only in their degree oxidation and roasting. And the one that was sufficiently oxidized, but only lightly roasted, immediately impressed us.
