About Us

A small country as it is, located in the west of the Pacific Ocean, Taiwan´s unique geological features have blessed it with an abundance and variety of resources. With its one-of-a-kind location and historical background, here is found a rare and different culture coupled with a people full of hospitality and tenacity.


Formosa, a name that symbolizes and refers to an island of beauty, has become synonymous with Taiwan for ages. The modern-day Taiwan is mostly associated with computer technology and creativity, though. Another product that has put Taiwan on the map is tea. For eons tea has been essential to Taiwanese daily life, simple and always at hand. Tea trees are planted all over Taiwan, and with the various skills required for different teas are developed various specialty teas on this small island country. One has but to look back awhile, and he cannot help the knowledge that a little more than a century ago Taiwan was long immersed in the fame Formosa Oolong Tea had brought to bear. Taiwan is not nicknamed Formosa for nothing.


We´re a Nantou-based company. Our office is registered in Taipei. Nantou County, Taiwan, the primary tea-growing area, teeming with tea plantations and farming. Our team is composed of certified tea masters and tea tasters whose whole-hearted devotion to and demand of tea is second to none; nothing but the best tea will pass muster and be served by them. Except for teas marked Aged Tea, there is a quota for every seasonal tea product, so once the quota is sold out, one may have to wait for the coming season.


Every tea is imbued with a culture that can amaze, which is our belief, and tea itself is an agricultural product, ideal for consumption in the particular season. Every tea acknowledged and sworn by Formosa T-house goes through a very personal process: a visit with the plantation and the farmer, an insight into the details of tea plantation management and the technology and skill for tea-making; most important of all, their thoughts and ideals concerning tea. All in all we have in mind to offer the best tea possible from Taiwan, to draw you into the world of tea made in Taiwan, which is quite unlike any other you might have experienced.
