Taiwan Bubble Tea isn’t just famous for its bubble, it is the fascinating subject- the tea, that decides whether it’s a good bubble tea.
The tea industry has been long-established in Taiwan and was the industry that dominates the whole island.
A visit to a tea factory has thus should be put into the Taiwan travel itinerary for a good reason!


The production of tea is a process that requires heavy machines and plenty of manpower.
It involves a tedious procedure of plucking, withering, rolling, oxidizing and drying.

Tedious tea processing flow


Depending on the tea factories, you perhaps would start out in the plantation itself to learn about how tea is cultivated, then visit the factory where ancient machines pre-dating the industrial revolution wither, roll and dry the tea.

Take your time for a tea tasting, either of one specific type of tea or occasionally of the various specialities of that particular factory.
Much like a wine tasting, a traditional tea tasting would involve drinking tea (without milk), swilling it around the mouth to get the taste, and then spitting it out into a spittoon.

The entrance costs are usually nominal or free, and it’s definitely worth your time to pay a visit, even if only to get a chance to see the antique machines at work.

This can always be arranged if you prefer a slightly more private tailored experience!
Now let’s see a few tea factories we got in Taiwan!

Combined with mild temperatures, the Yuchi Township of Nantou boasts a perfect place for tea trees to thrive.
Assam tea was first introduced to Taiwan during the Japanese Colonial Era, and the Yuchi Township produced some of the best black tea at the time.

The quality was so highly approved that over 7,000 tons of black tea were exported.
The Yuchi Township was therefore recognized as the โ€œhometown of black tea.”
However, in the 1970s, labour costs started to soar and the cheap tea leaves from India and Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) further weakened the Taiwanese tea industry.
In order to survive, many tea farmers started to grow cash crops such as betel nuts…



In 2003, Sun Moon Lake Antique Assam Tea Farm went into sharp decline and had to be shut down for good.
Nevertheless, five employees decided to stay and have been striving to restore the glory of the tea farm ever since then.
With their everlasting efforts, the traditional tea factory has been successfully turned into a tourism factory filled with educational and cultural values, allowing visitors to travel down the time tunnel and back in time to revisit the heyday of Sun Moon Lake Antique Assam Tea Farm.



The tea farm itself is very nice and scenic, and there is a tour offered too, just make sure you book it in advance!
They’ll present how the farm was restarted, and how the founders believed in nature and organic farming.
Then followed by will be a demonstration about how tea leaves were picked and handled, together with the machines.

Really worth visiting to hear what they have to say about nature!


There are 2 star main products here, both are the hand-picked 1 core, 2 leaves, and with the shape of striped (ๆ‰‹ๆŽก1่Šฏ2่‘‰ ๆข็ดข็‹€):

โœŒ Assam Black Tea – Taiwan Tea No.8 (ๅšด้ธ้˜ฟ่–ฉๅง†็ด…่Œถ-ๅฐ่Œถ8่™Ÿ)
A single plant of Indian Assam Jaipuri retains the richness and sweetness of the original Assam, the broth is richer than Taiwan Tea No. 18 and has a more solid, full-bodied taste, and is more suitable to drink with milk or brown sugar.

Yoshantea Tea Culture House used to be a discarded old factory, while now it has been given a new life in this spacious area.
Here you can explore the development of Taiwanese tea and learn about first-hand knowledge of Taiwanese tea production and category.
In addition, teapots and tea wares that Yoshantea has collected for years are also on display.



Some fun facts about Taiwanese tea:
Unlike wine in France, which has its standard for naming and labelling, to attract customersโ€™ attention, many different names are often heard with the same tea in Taiwan and can always make confusion.
For example, Fresh Li Shan Oolong Tea might also be named Gao Leng Tea (High Cold Tea), Yun Wu Tea (Cloud and Fog Tea), and Shiue Shan Tea (Snow Mountain Tea).

However, basic name elements of tea may include its aroma, growing region, cultivar, method of processing and trade name.
For instance, the name of Dong Ding tea should be named correctly as Roasted Dong Ding Chin-Shin-Oolong Oolong Tea.
And for the trade names, there are, for example, Song Bo Chang Ching Tea (Pine Oolong) and High Mountain Tea are commonly seen.


Back to the factory, the journey of Yoshan Tea can be read hand in hand with the history of Taiwanese Dong Ding oolong.

Oolong has been cultivated on Dong Ding Mountain as early as the mid-19th century when local villagers started harvesting โ€œQing Xin oolong” in preference to the native โ€œwild teaโ€.
By this time, the Chen family of Yoshan Tea were already knee-deep in their exploration of Taiwanese oolong.

Taiwan’s tea industry continues its growth and evolution with the increasing appreciation from the youth and people with trendy lifestyles.
In 2014, Yoshan Tea remodelled its โ€œTea Culture Houseโ€ museum to shorten the distance between people and tea, with a multilingual introduction to Taiwanese tea culture and enhanced quality of experience.


With its practices perfected in Taiwan, Dong Ding Oolong (ๅ‡้ ‚็ƒ้พ) is one of the most renowned tea in Taiwan.
For hundreds of years, harvesting Dong Ding Oolong involved arduous treks across the regionโ€™s mountains and rivers.
A rising demand for such tea, coupled with a labour shortage, meant that tea producers had to streamline the process; a modern โ€œstandard tea production methodโ€ has since replaced what traditionally relied on experience and climate.


This new process gives the tea a leafy โ€œhigh mountainโ€ aroma, a result of insufficient fermentation of prematurely-picked leaves that is often mistaken for Dong Dingโ€™s famed flavours.
What Yoshan Tea seeks is Dong Ding oolongโ€™s true flavoursโ€”with those distinctive throat-cooling sweet notes so robust and unforgettable the flavours have been described โ€œas an entering into one’s bonesโ€.
Only by harvesting ripe tea leaves, letting them ferment sufficiently, and then roasting them for an appropriate amount of time does that full-bodied sweetness of Dong Ding Oolong come to the fore.


The factory is selling all kinds of tea from different places of origin.
Each place is a unique landscape with its local climatic characteristics seen through the rich and varied flavours of oolong tea.

The Daxi Tea Factory built in 1926 covers an area of 1,670 square feet, and was formerly named the “Jiaoban Mountain Factory.”

Taiwanese tea was prosperous during that time and was regarded as “black gold.”

To meet the huge demand for export, the old tea factory operated with three shifts and machines running around the clock, of which the annual output reached as much as 600 gross tons.

A fire in 1956 destroyed most of the factory. But as luck would have it, on his way to his mansion on Jiaoban Mountain, the former President, Chiang Kai-shek, found that the tea factory he was familiar with was gone, he then assisted in reconstructing the factory and this precious piece of historical heritage has been preserved until now.


The architecture is a fusion of Taiwanese, Japanese, and British styles.



The 1F has been designed as a tea sales and production area, a film screening room and a tea bookstore.

The first thing that strikes the eye is the minimalist design of the product demonstrating area, which sells products from agricultural and forestry-related companies.





The packaging of the tea marketing area is infected by the simplicity of the design.


On the other side is a display of old tea-making machinery, also a new tea-making area nowadays due to small quantities of tea still being produced in the tea factory.

Fans are located on each of the north and south-facing walls to provide adequate airflow in the wilting area, and windows are lined up on both sides for ventilation.



Jackson’s Tea Leaf Rolling Machine (40’s)
The cells of the tea tissues are crumpled through rolling using the mechanical friction of the machine, and the sap flows out and attaches to the tea leaf surface for ease of brewing.




2F is a worthwhile visit and is the architectural highlight of the factory.

With 151 vertically and horizontally intertwined diffusion frames, the interactive support of the mechanical structure is a crystallisation of the wisdom of previous generations.




Tea Withering Nets at 2F are suspended from the truss.

By spreading the tea leaves evenly on the net, the flowing air facilitates the evaporation of excessive moisture in the tea leaves.

Also, the macerated leaves are more resilient to breakages when they are handled in successive procedures, as the leaves continue to dry out, the aroma of tea becomes ever more vibrant.

Old Blue Cypress Window Bar, on the other hand, can be rotated at a 90-degree angle for opening, was installed to speed up the tea leaf withering process by guiding the airflow into the room, and emitting a large amount of heated air with the help of the large exhaust fans, achieving improved leaf withering efficiency.


Daxi Tea Factory has retained the traces of more than six decades.
The red bricks of the Japanese Colonial Period carry an evocative sentiment of the bygone days.


Important! Don’t miss the regular tours on weekdays and holidays: 11:00 and 14:30 (2 sessions)!

Chi-Mu Black Tea Factory (ๆŒๆœจ็ด…่Œถๅป ) in Yuchi was established by the Japanese to produce black tea.
Mr Shih Chao Xin (็Ÿณๆœๅนธ), who graduated from Taiwan Tea Industry Transmitting Institute (่Œถๆฅญๅ‚ณ็ฟ’ๆ‰€), managed the factory since 1949.

Mr Shih persisted in black tea cultivation, even when others made a fortune by growing betel-nut palms, he still believed that black tea would come into the spotlight again.

Stories behind the brand…

In the early 20th century, the Japanese introduced Indian Assam and other black tea varieties to the area, giving it a sweet and rounded flavour.

To become tea tasters, Wang’s brother learned the tea themselves started from scratch and established the tea factory.

Until now, the brand was awarded the “2019 Star Tea Factory Assessment 5 Star Grade”.

They’ve been combining cultural creativity and tourism to promote tea culture since then.

Located about 40 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Taipei, Xiong Kong Tea Garten situated in the mountains of the Sanxia in New Taipei City.
Covering an area of 168 hectares and 700 metres above sea level, the organic tea plantations and lush green mountains and valleys attracts tourists around the country.

Every tea tree here grows naturally without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
Instead of mechanisation, the plantations here take the method of humanitarian, from planting, fertilising, weeding and pest control to harvesting and tea production.

Because of the organic cultivation, Xiong Kong Tea Garten not only retains the beauty of the original mountains and forests, but also produce the most natural and healthy crops – organic Biluochun green tea (ๆœ‰ๆฉŸ็ขง่žบๆ˜ฅ็ถ ่Œถ), organic Oolong tea (ๆœ‰ๆฉŸ็ƒ้พ่Œถ) and organic honey-scented black tea (ๆœ‰ๆฉŸ่œœ้ฆ™็ด…่Œถ). Furthermore, they are not only pure in quality but are also organic-certified (ๆ…ˆๅฟƒๆœ‰ๆฉŸ้ฉ—่ญ‰).



There are several other must-see spots in the area besides the Organic Tea Plantation.
This includes the Cherry Blossom Forest, the Maple Forest Road, the coffee hut, the Observation deck, the Willow Grove Trail, and the visitor centre.

For the Cherry Blossom Forest, during the season, there will be over 1,500 Fuji and Yoshino cherry trees (ๅฏŒๅฃซๆซปๅ’Œๅ‰้‡Žๆซป) blooming with pink and white flowers.
For the Maple Forest Road, the maple leaves change from green to orange to red in December and January, making the trail romantic in all seasons.
