This garden is located on the west side of the Lishan region, above Xinjiayang Village, adjacent to forest land. It's owned and managed by local indigenous people and is known for its prime location. This is our first opportunity to procure tea from this source, and we are excited about the prospect of future cooperation!
This family originally managed fruit orchards above their village.The apple orchards established after WWII were phased out by imported produce becoming available domestically. This land was left fallow for more than 20 years. When the youngest son returned home to manage the family land, he encountered a series of natural disasters for three years in a row that caused a major set back to the family business. He then decided to clear the fallow land and plant tea, starting in 2002. This was the beginning of the development of tea farms at this segment of the cross-island Route 8 — where this indigenous village is located, at the 74K marker.

Mug: 7g tea in 300ml 100°C water. Let steep until cool enough to drink. Add hot water as desired. Adjust to taste.
Cold Brew: Use 5g of tea per liter of water. Brew tea at room temperature for 2-3 hours, and enjoy. Or you can put your cold brew bottle in the fridge to brew overnight and be ready to drink the next day.
Gong Fu: We recommend starting with a 1:15 leaf to water ratio. So, 10g of tea for a 150mL teapot. You can see how this works for you and then adjust accordingly. Use boiling temperature water and brew for one minute on the first brew, 50 seconds on the second brew, then increase brewing time about 10-15 seconds with each successive brew. The leaves can be brewed 5-6 times. You can also go with a higher leaf:water ratio, and brew for shorter intervals, and get more brews overall.
