This tea is crafted by the tea master Lee Tsung Lieh and can be considered a rare high-mountain tea grown through organic cultivation. Guided by a deep connection to the land, he cultivates an organic tea farm using natural balance methods. Despite the fact that the tea farm has only one-third of the yield compared to conventional farming methods, he remains committed to coexisting with the ecology.
Situated at an altitude of 1700 meters, the tea plantation experiences significant temperature fluctuations between day and night, resulting in slow growth and thick tea leaves. The selected Qingxin Oolong variety imparts a fresh floral fragrance to the tea, which is delicate and exquisite. The tea soup is refreshing, and it has a smooth and sweet taste that is very enduring when steeped.
Introduction to the tea farmer:
Dedicated to tea throughout his life, inheriting, innovating, and perfecting, is the tea master Leei, also known as the tea enthusiast of Shimen. Born into a family of tea farmers, Lee once left his hometown to operate a tea business elsewhere. The tea farms in the Shimen region were once flourishing during the Japanese occupation, and the “Alibang Black Tea” was even offered as tribute to the Japanese emperor. However, with societal changes and population migration, the tea farms in the area gradually fell into disuse.
Over a decade ago, Lee decided to return to his hometown to cultivate tea. The tea farms were almost abandoned, but with the idea that "Alibang Black Tea” is a brand that Shimen can be proud of," he began the work of revitalization. It took him three years to cultivate the land, and it was around the fourth year that he started harvesting.
In addition to Shimen, Lee also cultivates high-mountain Oolong tea in Lishan.
