[The Vicious Cycle of Mass-Producing Taiwanese Oolong Tea –––– Picking Young Tea Leaves]

In recent years, the enthusiasm of tea lovers for Taiwanese Oolong tea has led some tea farmers to excessively spray pesticides and pick young tea leaves in pursuit of high yields. However, no matter how skillfully the tea masters refine the young-picked leaves, they cannot eliminate the grassy and astringent taste of the tea, resulting in an increasing number of teas on the market with an overpowering green flavor.

Cha-Tailor collaborates with tea gardens in Taiwan that have been established for over thirty years. The tea farmers adhere to the principles of sustainable development, regularly fallowing their fields and never over-harvesting. The tea masters produce tea according to the quality of the leaves. They prefer to reduce output rather than pick young leaves or overproduce, hoping to preserve the authentic Taiwanese Oolong tea!
