Formosa why taiwan tea
The island of Taiwan also known as Formosa produces the worlds most prized oolong teas. Clouds and mist surround the tea plantations all year round thus creating the perfect environment to grow superlative tender tea buds. The tropical latitude of Formosa allows tea growing at high altitudes with generally mild temperatures. Knowledge abounds about tea on the island and competition between farms makes tea from Taiwan something to experience.
