Before we began offering teas from Taiwan in 2014, we had already been looking for a Tieguanyin from the most highly regarded origin of the tea in this island nation — Muzha. It has to have a quality impressive enough to convince me that it is better than those from other areas.

It was until 2023 that we were able to find such a convincing batch.

Our old tea baking expert friend in Nantou helped me bake it to the effects we want, and we further age it till now.
