Tea of Today: Harbour Tea [for your vacation]

Today, we introduce the tea from the south of Taiwan which is also the only one close to harbour. We chosed this just because it's summer time and everyone feels to have a vacation!

In Taiwan, from the north to south, you can find tea! (Don't believe it?! Please refer to this map and introduction.) Harbour Tea comes from Pingdong county, the tea plantations exist since long time ago, but due to the trend and market needs, Harbour Tea is not popular in Taiwan now. So that, the tea plantations are less than before and not so many tea makers for it any more.

If you like the fresh and the style with light roasting from High Mountain Oolong Tea, you will be surprised that Harbour Tea brings you more traditional and local taste of Taiwan. Every time when we drink Harbour Tea, the memory of childhood back. That is what we say about "traditional taste" (Gu Tzao Wei; 古早味).

The outlook of this dried tea is not so green as Green Tea we introduced or High Mountain Oolong Tea. It looks a little bit grey outside, and balled shape. The grey color is nature as the tea grow on the flatland and close to ocean, there is no mist or drizzle like on the high mountains. Instead, there is often windy and the drought. You probably will taste it a little bit salty, but there is no salt in the tea certainly.

We appreciate and cherish every different tea from the mother nature. Every tea has its cheracters. If you are interested in Harbour Tea, please feel free to contact us, it's pleasant to share more infomation with you.

Tea of Today: Green Tea [nature farming plantation]

There are always reasons for us to choose which tea we would like to brew for the day, for example the mood, the weather or the participants of tea party. Most of time we posted here were because of weather, same like today -- it is hot, humid and rainy.

For such a day and you would like to brew a cup of tea for yourself, green tea would be a very good choice more than others. Green Tea is an unfermented tea and keeps a lot of anti-oxidant effects. The tea makes people feeling refreshing and energetic. Is it too hot to drink hot tea for you? From the traditional Chinese medical science, it's good to drink hot tea when it's hot, so that will keep the physical balance.

This tea came from a nature farming plantation with the low altitude which belongs to a religion group. It was harvested in April this year and we tasted it 2 months later. (We never suggest our customers to taste the really new tea which is just left roasting machine and produced.)

Before brewing, we smelled the fresh and nature fragrance of flower and bean from the dried tea leaves, which is typical for green tea. After brewing, we smelled the passionfruit from the inside of tea pot's lid, same for every first sip of each brewing. That was amazing! This tea pot never been used with any fruit! And it was very productive, we repeatedly brewed it for 6 times!

This tea is a personal collection and offering limited, we are sorry that you won't be able to find it on our on-line shop. However, we could provide you more information if you are interested in this tea!

Have a nice cup of tea for youself too!
