TAIWAN
One of most popular tea-producing regions in world having produced tea for home consumption from old days. Later immigrants from Fujian started producing oolong tea using method of mainland China. 1895-1945 under Japanese rule, several tea testing centers were established and full-scale production and export of different types of teas began. After WW II some tea plantations were destroyed but in the 1970s-80s, improvement of tea species and factory facilities helped establish the "Taiwan oolong tea brand" with a sophisticated flavor. Today Dong Ding Oolong and alpine tea produced in highlands of over 1,000m now surpass Mainland China oolong tea.
