"This tea is a real winner in my book!" - Sororitea Sisters
Our Formosa Assam is a highest quality Black Tea grown in the amazing mountainous climate of Sun-Moon Lake in Central Taiwan. It's a great breakfast tea but smooth and delightful enough for all-day economical luxury. These leaves can be re-steeped many times and our family drinks this delicious tea pretty much every morning!
At BTTC, we love to support small family farms and we're happy to have worked with Mr. Liu and his wonderful wife Ms. Lee for many years. Their plots are both very near the lake. The larger garden grows Formosa Assam, and in their smaller garden they grow Red Jade black tea and Hong Yun black tea. All outstanding.
We have a short video at this farm. You can see it HERE.Here's a little more about how we met HERE.

Use a strainer, or if you don't mind a little leaf in your tea feel free to use a fork :) |
