Songbai Evergreen Tea

When it comes to Evergreen Tea, people might think of Jiangsu's Maoshan Evergreen Tea. But on Taiwan Island, there is also an Evergreen Tea — it’s Songbai Evergreen Tea.

Songbai Evergreen Tea is a type of Taiwanese oolong tea and is also ranked among Taiwan’s Top Ten Famous Teas. It is characterized by “three greens”: green dry leaves, green tea liquor, and green leaf bottoms. So if you want to tell whether what you’ve bought is authentic Songbai Evergreen Tea, you can verify it based on this feature.

Songbai Ridge tea has an early development history in Taiwan Province’s tea industry. In its early stages, the tea produced had relatively low recognition in the domestic market and was hard to sell, resulting in a tough life for local tea farmers. In 1975, then-Premier Chiang Ching-kuo visited Songbai Ridge and was highly impressed by the tea’s rich and fragrant aroma. He specially named it “Songbai Evergreen Tea.”

The production process of Songbai Evergreen Tea is also very meticulous, with specific steps including fresh leaf picking, high-temperature fixation, and baking and shaping.
