Behind the Tea
Taiwanese tea production, particularly when it comes to broken-shaped tea, differs significantly from methods used in other countries.
Why? Since Taiwan primarily focuses on whole leaf tea production, broken-shaped tea only constitutes a minimal portion of Taiwan's overall tea output. Therefore, the process of making broken-shaped tea in Taiwan mostly involves crushing whole leaf tea directly into smaller pieces and then using sifting techniques (at least 4 layers) to separate the different parts of the tea leaves.
Due to the process involved, larger stems and veins on the first layer are removed, as well as dust and other small impurities on the bottom layer, leaving behind only the central parts of the leaves (the buds and the leaves), which contain the most flavour and nutrients. Therefore, our Taiwanese broken-shaped oolong has more premium quality and characteristics.
