Unique Climate of high mountain creates unique tea experience
 

Taiwan's high mountain tea (Formosa tea) generally refers to the teas grow in altitude higher than 1,000 meters or above, due to the unique environmental factors of high altitude areas, each mountain tea has a different taste and flavor.

Because the alpine climate is cold, cloudy and the average sunshine is short, these factors reduced the content of "catechins" and other bitter ingredients in tea leaves, and thus improve the "catechamic acid" and "soluble nitrogen" which increased the sweetness of the tea leave.
