About Spring High Mountain Oolong Tea 2011

Last month was the coldest March in the past 41 years in Taiwan. Spring comes late, so that the buds of tea trees coming out late. Here we are still waiting for the spring thunder which means spring comes. The tea plantations located at lower altitudes have already some teas harvested. On average, this year, the spring teas come out about 2 to 3 weeks late.

Our High Mountain Oolong Teas, on the tea plantations at high altitude will be starting the harvest until end of April to May. Due to climate change, the agriculture products are affected more or less in different ways. For teas, the harvest probably will be smaller in volume than usual.

Therefore, we apologize that we are NOT opening the “pre-order” to our individual customers at the moment for our upcoming High Mountain Oolong Teas, because our standpoints are selecting and evaluating the good teas for our customers. Good teas doesn't need to be rushed. We understand that many of you are waiting for the spring teas, however, quality is more important than quantity.

Little by little, we are going to launch the 2011 spring Oolong teas, black teas and Tieguanyin teas etc. at the right time on our official website, Blog and Facebook. If any query, you are welcome to contact us via email. Thank you for your understanding!

The donation for Japan

Dear Fans / Customers of Formosa T-house,

The fund raising program for Japan which was hold by Formosa T-house was ended yesterday. We are grateful to have the great support from you! The disaster like the earthquake happened in Japan could happen in other countries as well. We live on the same global, we are brothers and sisters and should help eath other.

Taiwan has the lower GDP than Japan (actually "a lot of lower GDP" -- said by one friend of us), but we were/are willing to help because of human nature. After the earthquake, there were a lot of donations from Taiwanese sending to the related organizations in Taiwan and then passed the donations/goods to Japan. And we, Formosa T-house, also gave our donation to the Red Cross in Taipei today. We donated it by cash and brought to the Red Cross in person just because we hoped that the Red Cross could receive the donation with a whole number. (The donations will be deducted the transfer fee or service charges by finance organizations for always.)

↑ (The donation is under the Chinese company title of Formosa T-house and designated the usage to Japan. The total amount is NT 10,000.)

During the time of this progam we processed, a few of customers ordered "gift packages" which were not on the list of this fund raising program, but we decided to donate it equally. At the end, we made the whole number and donated NT10,000 (about 250 Euro) to the Red Cross in Taipei this afternoon, on Mar. 31, as we promised!

May God takes care of all the people died in the disaster in Japan and bless all the people alive!

Love & Peace

Formosa T-house Co. Ltd.

12 years ago, here we had a horrible earthquake 921 and had a lot of help from all over the world. The Japanese rescue team members and their dogs arrived to Nantou County in Taiwan, the most damaged area, in 2 days! It made Nantou County to be different and flourishing nowadays.

The earthquake happened last week in Japan was too disastrous and it made the people whom alive heartbreaking. As a business having the strong rescources from Nantou County and even from the whole Taiwan island, we Formosa T-house would also like to do something for Japan.

We are having the sole fund rasing program for Japan by providing teas. From 15 to 30 March 2011, we will donate 10% from the list price of each sold product.

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.
