Li Shan high mountain tea production area specializes in Chin-Shin-Oolong, producing hemispherical light and partially fermented tea.
Temperatures of Li Shan, harvesting only happens 2 to 3 times at the maximum, most of which is during spring, winter or autumn. Due to the cold temperature, its tea leaves are thicker, drastically increasing its infusion count.
At the beginning of the construction, the work was carried out by hand. Most of these workers who opened the road with their bare hands were veterans who came to Taiwan after the Chinese Civil War in 1949.
Later, due to the difficulty of the project and the slow progress, it was switched to engineering machines.
Wu Ridge has the highest altitude, 3,275 meters, and finally connects with Central Cross-lsland Highway at Dayu Ridge. At the beginning of its opening, it was 42.2 kilometers long.
Because this section passes through high-altitude mountainous areas, it often snows in winter. Therefore, traffic control will be implemented on the section above Cuifeng when there is snow. Only vehicles with snow chains and four-wheel drive vehicles can drive.
At the beginning, veterans began to plant crops of high economic value such as apples in the Li Shan and Dayu Ridge areas. Later, Taiwan became one of the four Asian Tigers. As income increased, people began to choose a more refined leisure life.
Chin-Shin-Oolong is said to have been cultivated in Taiwan by a gentleman from Fujian, China in 1855. The earliest planting area was Dongding Mountain in Lugu Township, Nantou County, Taiwan.
Li Shan high mountain oolong tea is produced in a band of area on the mountains at around 1,800 to 2,500 meters above sea level in Taichung Taiwan.
Ideal for specialty tea that is more fragrant with a purer taste.
Its condition makes production rare and is often sought by tea enthusiasts.
In 2018, the Tea Industry Improvement Field of the Agricultural Committee of the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China carefully designed a set of Taiwan tea flavor system.
495 Taiwan tea samples were analyzed by tea tasting and tea making experts to form a set of indexes, with the purpose of establishing a tea tasting system, forming a common language among the people, and with an international perspective, to market Taiwan with tea fragrance.
Duan Cha adjusts this flavor wheel to introduce the taste, smell and visual index of Duan Cha products.
