Cui Feng is a mountain peak located in central Taiwan, once covered with pristine forests. Most of the arable land was used for cultivating fruits such as persimmons and peaches. However, with the rise of high-quality high mountain oolong tea after 2000, orchards were replaced by tea gardens. Today, Cui Feng is almost entirely covered with tea trees, becoming one of the top high mountain oolong tea producing areas in Taiwan.
The tea gardens utilize a large amount of organic fertilizers, imparting a fragrance reminiscent of osmanthus flowers.
Situated between 1600 to 2100 meters above sea level, the Cui Feng tea region experiences cold temperatures year-round due to its high altitude and the cold winds from nearby 3400-meter-high mountains. From November to April, frost often damages the tea trees, leading tea farmers to install frost protection fans to safeguard the plants. Due to the cold weather, tea leaves grow slowly, resulting in a delicate flavor profile, with high-quality Cui Feng High Mountain Tea emitting a fragrance akin to osmanthus flowers.
We specifically selected a tea garden located at an altitude of 1900 meters for our Cui Feng High Mountain Tea. This is one of the finest gardens in the area, boasting ample irrigation water sources. The garden employs a significant amount of organic fertilizers (such as peanut hull) and compound fertilizers, earning accolades in local tea leaf competitions.
