Premium Taiwanese Green Tea
What is premium Taiwanese green tea?
Premium Taiwanese green tea is made from carefully harvested, unoxidised tea leaves from high‑altitude gardens in Taiwan. These leaves are quickly steamed or pan‑fired after picking to preserve their natural colour, fragrance, and beneficial compounds. High‑mountain Taiwanese green teas are prized for their freshness, light sweetness, and smooth, mild flavour.
