Factors Affecting the Price of Taiwanese Oolong Tea
The price of Taiwanese Oolong tea is affected not only by variety and origin but also by season and harvesting methods. For example:
- Harvesting Method: Tea harvested by machine is usually half the price of hand-picked tea because machine harvesting saves labor costs, and labor is the highest cost in tea production.
- Season: High Mountain Oolong, Baozhong, and Dong Ding Oolong teas have relatively lower prices for summer and autumn teas. Oriental Beauty Tea and Red Oolong Tea are more expensive in summer because the tea green leafhopper breeds in the summer. Tea from non-peak seasons tends to be priced lower than the above prices.
