Taiwan
Taiwan produces oolong, black and green teas. Bao Zhong, Dong Ding and Oriental Beauty represent different oolong styles; Sun Moon Lake is also known for black tea. Explore the tea profiles and growing regions below to compare origins rather than treating all Taiwanese tea as one style.
Oxidation and roasting are separate processing steps. More oxidation does not necessarily mean a heavier roast.
Oxidation and roasting
- Wenshan Bao Zhong (Pouchong): light oxidation; floral notes.
- Oriental Beauty (Bai Hao Oolong): heavier oxidation; honey and ripe-fruit notes.
- Muzha Tieguanyin (Heavy Roast): medium oxidation and a strong roast; roasted notes.
These are typical styles; processing and flavour vary by producer and batch.
