Alishan black tea carries the scent of ripe fruit,
warm sunlight, and clean mountain air.
Its “fruit note” is not a flavoring—
it is the voice of the terrain.
2. Hand-Picking: The First Encounter Between Land and People
Tea is picked gently,
one bud and two leaves,
guided by rhythm rather than speed.
3. Sun Withering: Letting Nature Work
Leaves soften in sunlight and breeze,
shifting from grassy green to subtle fruit aroma—
a Daoist kind of patience.
4. Rolling: Giving Shape to the Landscape
Rolling awakens layers of aroma:
fruit, honey, soft wood—
like light falling from different angles of the mountain.
5. Fermentation: The Heart of Black Tea
Temperature, humidity, and time decide the tea’s character.
In many ways, fermentation is a practice of awareness.
6. Roasting: Leaving Warmth in the Leaf
A gentle roast anchors the aroma.
The sweetness unfolds slowly,
as calm as the Alishan wind.
