Taiwan Tea

Diffusing a Fine Aroma and Implicit Charm

With Taiwan's unique natural environment, plus the extraordinary tea-making techniques, each of the tea regions produces its own tea with a distinctive flavor and local features: the Biluochun Tea, Baozhong Tea and Tieguanyin Tea in the northern tea region, the Oriental Beauty Tea in the tea regions of Taoyuan, Hsinchu and Miaoli, the Dong Ding Oolong Tea and Sun Moon Lake Black Tea in the central tea region, the High Mountain Oolong Tea in the southern tea region and the Red Oolong Tea in the Hualien and Taitung tea regions.

The AFA cooperates with the Tea Research and Extension Station to provide guidance on sanitation and safety to the domestic tea factories and improve the competitiveness of the tea industry. 56 tea factories were awarded a four or five-star rating for sanitation and safety.

In addition, the promotion of “the Bright Spot Tea Estates Project" is to build the tea industry into a six- grade industry. 32 bright spot tea estates, each with its own style and characteristics, have been selected to convey that Taiwanese tea is not only safe and high quality, but also full of rich local cultural heritage. More than that, these tea estates will be promoted through the collective brand name United Tea Estates Enterprise (UTEE) to play a role in connecting the world with Taiwan's tea and strengthen the global recognition and the competitiveness of Taiwan Tea in the marketplaces.
