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.
