The tea tree of this tea grows at the altitude around 800 meters. The tea garden lies in Mingjian Village in Nantou, which was one of the main production areas of Taiwan Oolong in early period. The tea garden pays attentions to the tea’s processing. The leaf produced here is naturally sweet and fragrant. High mountain tea refers to the tea grown above the altitude of 800 meters. Those grown in the area lower than 800 meters are called low altitude tea. High mountain tea has obvious distinction comparing with low altitude tea, which is the thick leaf, unique floral fragrance. With the altitude getting higher, the tea will have better aroma and brighter liquid, as well as stronger and longer sweet aftertaste.
