Charcoal Roasted Oolong Tea is a particular type of tea roasted by heat from charcoal. Mr. Ou’s method in the process of making high mountain tea uses charcoal as a heat source, while a short period of high temperature generates the tea saccharification reaction. Because of the penetration of far-infrared rays, the fragrance of alpine tea is greatly preserved, and the tea soup contains a thick and mellow flavor after roasting. The shape of the tea leaves is tight, the color of the tea soup is honey-green, the aroma is fresh, floral elegant and roasted smell, with unique caramel taste.
Located in Xinyi Township, Nantou County, at the foot of Yushan Mountain at an altitude of 1,600 meters, the Yushan tea has a unique fragrance and sweetness. The period from 1986 to 1996 was the golden decade of the Yushan tea area. However, with the popularity of high mountain tea from bigger tea areas, Yushan tea has gradually been forgotten, and Mr. Ou’s family is one of the few tea farmers who still stay in Yushan. Shuili Yushan Tea Farm has a history of 37 years. Mr. Ou, from the second generation of the family, returned to his hometown 10 years ago to take over his father’s tea farm and work together with his younger brother. He is still studying and developing tea-making technology, while his younger brother manages the tea farm full-time. All the tea coming from this farm are eco-friendly as per the processing and cultivation too.
