Taipin High Mountain Tea

Taipin High Mountain Tea

　　    Yongfu Town is situated in the southwestern part of Zhangping City, located between the Daiyun Mountain Range and the Bopingling Mountain Range. It is the southernmost high mountain basin in Fujian Province and functions as an important economic, cultural, and transportation center in southern Zhangping, as well as a key distribution hub for goods from neighboring towns in Zhangping and Longyan.

　　    Fujian’s Zhangping Yongfu Town is the largest high mountain oolong tea plantation base on the mainland. In 1996, the Taipin Tea Industry (High Mountain Tea) Co., Ltd. was established here, developing thousands of acres of tea gardens and producing premium high mountain tea.

　　    The product speaks for itself — once you taste the high mountain tea from Yongfu, you’ll think, “So the high mountain tea from the mainland is really not bad either.” This tea has attracted 43 tea farmers and merchants from Taiwan to settle in the Fujian Zhangzhou Taiwan Farmers' Entrepreneurship Park, where the planted area of high mountain oolong tea now exceeds 40,000 mu.

　　    Due to the cool high mountain climate, with clouds and fog lingering in the early morning and late evening, and relatively short average sunlight hours, the bitter catechin content in the tea buds and leaves is reduced. Meanwhile, the levels of theanine and soluble nitrogen — components that contribute to a sweet taste — are increased. The buds and leaves are tender, with thick leaf flesh and high pectin content, resulting in high mountain tea that is vibrant emerald green in color, with an exceptionally fragrant and refined aroma. The taste is mellow and sweet, the tea liquor is clear and jade-green, rich in quality and flavor, leaving a lingering aftertaste and throat moisture, making it a premium-grade tea.
