[Sun Moon Lake Four Major Black Teas] First Prize Assam Tea Bags | Chashuo Travel / Taiwanese Tea / Mid-Autumn Gift

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54443733602_cfd9cf3318_c.jpg **The Most Familiar Assam** __A tea cultivar introduced from South Asia, it has taken root over time, becoming a familiar taste in Taiwan.__ Although Assam originated in India, it is the most widely accepted black tea in Taiwan. It was the variety first brought to Lugu by the Japanese, which then led to the international renown of Sun Moon Lake black tea. The famous "Malt Flavor Black Tea" also began with Assam from Sun Moon Lake, entering the lives of Taiwanese people. For those who enjoy bubble tea and wish to explore Sun Moon Lake black tea but are unsure where to start, we recommend beginning with Assam. It can also be further prepared as milk tea or vanilla black tea. This tea bag selection features autumn's prize-winning Assam, produced by a tea factory that won first place in the large-leaf category at this year's (2024) Sun Moon Lake Black Tea Competition. It boasts sweet notes of malt and ripe fruit, with a softly rich and lingering flavor. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54453660325_3e5a3e51cb_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54453301606_0758fd488e_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54444780789_199a920531_c.jpg **Yongxiang Tea Factory** __The tea-making journey of three young friends.__ Many farmers in the Sun Moon Lake area have inherited old tea gardens from their families. Amidst the more recent resurgence of black tea, they have established their own tea factories to ensure consistent quality. Drawing upon childhood memories and experiences, they have gradually defined their own unique flavor and style during the tea factory's establishment. Yongxiang Tea Factory was co-founded by three individuals born in the 1980s. Driven by their passion for Sun Moon Lake black tea, they gradually became independent during their learning and growth process. The trio, starting from scratch, established the tea factory together based on shared needs and cost considerations. In addition to contract manufacturing, they invest considerable time and effort into competition evaluations, processing research, and flavor development and experimentation. In recent years, they have consistently won various local black tea competitions. In 2024, they swept first place in three categories: large-leaf varieties, Ruby (TRES #18), and Jade (TRES #21). https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54444593191_6b16458dae_c.jpg **Chashuo Travel's Tea Selection** __Selected black teas from Lugu, Fish Pond.__ Starting with the initial intention to "make Lugu black tea visible," Chashuo Travel has progressively collaborated with local small-scale farmers. Through diverse formats such as tea ceremony experiences, handicraft activities, workshops, videos, and podcasts, they guide people to discover the taste of local black tea and its century-long development, showcasing the stories each farmer wishes to tell through tea. Beginning in 2024, they introduced the "Four Major Black Teas for Beginners," selecting the Lugu series black teas most suitable for novice drinkers each year. From the oldest century-old mountain tea, the most familiar Assam, the most distinctive Ruby, to the West's favorite Jade, all are accompanied by clear brewing instructions, allowing beginners to easily enjoy fine tea at home. They have also further integrated Nantou's local friendly agriculture to develop the "Vanilla Black Tea" series. This year, in collaboration with "Shan Li Mian," they launched a physical store's tea-and-meal experience, blending the century-old craftsmanship and memories of the Sun Moon Lake black tea Lugu region with Taiwanese dim sum, creating a rich and balanced new taste for each other. —————————————————————————— ■ Product Name: [Sun Moon Lake Four Major Black Teas] First Prize Assam Tea Bags | Recommended for 2026 Mid-Autumn Gift Giving Producer: Chashuo Travel Weight: 2.5-3g per tea bag, 5 bags per pack / 20 bags per pack Origin: Taiwan / Yuchi Township, Nantou County Shelf Life: 2 years unopened
