The tea is mainly grown in mountainous areas in Central Taiwan because high-altitude places, along with fertile soil and cool misty weather, are all necessary conditions for growing good quality green teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, tea growing has existed in Taiwan, and each area has something different to offer in terms of the variety and taste. It is critical to note that Chun Ya Green Tea, in particular, does well in these hilly terrains as the weather contributes to the growth of a tea that is fragrant and rich in experience as well as taste with a degree of freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAgriculture Practices and Handcrafting Strategies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChun Ya Green tea is cultivated with sensible respect to the Environment. The tea farmers in Taiwan observe environmentally friendly solutions in growing tea hence no use of chemicals or pesticides is undertaken. Young tea leaves are harvested from tea bushes that are well taken care of and are able to endure the high altitudes and misty weather in Taiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThus it is not just the growing process, which is eco-friendly, but it is also the harvesting process. To make sure the youngest tender leaves, which are mostly used for the preparation of green teas are selected, special tea picking methods are applied. This guarantees that no matter where in the world you drink a cup of Chun Ya Green Tea, the quality is exactly the same from the picking stage to serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs soon as leaves are harvested, they are immediately steamed to stop the leaves from oxidizing, thus keeping their bright green colour and fresh taste.

It starts with a natural sugar, which is followed by a soft grassy note that is common among premium green teas. Subtle notes of fresh herbs and small bouquets of flower accents are present, leading to more flavor complexity. The natural sugars of the beverage are perfectly complemented with a cool and mildly woody chalkiness at the back, making it an attractive option for tea drinkers who prefer more articulate infused teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHealth Benefits: Wellness in Every Cup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBesides its delicious flavour, Taiwan Chun Ya Green Tea has more benefits than meets the eye.
