https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54866390712_e48c758cf7_c.jpg **Full Utilization of the Tea Plant: Flavor Beyond the Leaves** __While the black tea from Sun Moon Lake boasts a rich flavor in summer and autumn, its nutrients concentrate into the tea seeds during winter.__ The area around Sun Moon Lake in Yuchi Township is Taiwan's most important black tea producing region. In 1925, Japanese colonists introduced Assam tea seedlings here for trial cultivation. Unexpectedly, the soil, mist, and temperature differences in Yuchi allowed this foreign tea variety to take root in Taiwan. What we commonly know is the taste of black tea made from the leaves of these tea plants, but the tea trees also bloom and bear fruit each year. Guofang Mingcha manages its tea gardens organically, protecting over a thousand old mountain tea bushes and Taiwanese Tea No. 8 (Assam) on their land. In addition to harvesting and processing tea leaves themselves, Mr. Guozhen, who previously worked as a caterer and possesses a talent for cooking, collects the tea seeds, which are typically discarded by other tea gardens due to the hassle. Every autumn and winter, he transforms these seeds into oil. Only one batch is produced each year, capturing the essence of that year's climate and terroir in this black tea seed oil. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54867536480_17a6433f7d_c.jpg **Smooth and Not Bitter—Versatile for Stir-Frying and Dressing Noodles** __Belonging to the same Camellia family as camellia oil, black tea seed oil has a gentler profile, making it suitable for Chinese cooking methods.__ During the production process, the black tea seeds are first roasted to ensure food safety. This step removes any astringency and, through moderate roasting, enhances the formation of beneficial nutrients, such as increasing antioxidant content after heat treatment. Black tea seed oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (Omega-9) and has excellent heat resistance, making it ideal for low to medium-temperature stir-frying. However, it is even milder than camellia oil—its texture is smooth, with a subtle nutty aroma, and it's not bitter or overpowering, making it perfect for cold dressings as well. Naturally, we highly recommend using it directly to dress noodles. Drizzle the tea oil over freshly cooked, hot noodles to elevate the aroma. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54866390717_3701f73c49_c.jpg —————————————————————————— ■ Product Name: [Small Farmer Gift Box] Yuchi Friendly Black Tea Seed Oil | 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival Gift Recommendation Volume: 250ml / 600ml Ingredients: Tea seeds from Taiwanese Tea No. 8 and Mountain Tea, organically managed tea garden Tea Seed Origin: Yuchi Township, Nantou County Producer: Guofang Mingcha Shelf Life: 2 years.
