https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53598720912_6c0bbaf568_c.jpg **The classic production area of Sun Moon Lake black tea - Lu Peng Fragrant Tea Alley** __The fragrant tea alley that runs through Lu Peng community is always filled with aroma every time it is time to make tea.__ During the Japanese colonial period, the Japanese introduced Assam varieties and tried planting them in Yuchi. They found that the Yuchi basin at an altitude of 600m-800m was warm, humid, and shrouded in mist, and the tea grown there was of high quality, which started the development of the Yuchi black tea industry. Lu Peng owned the first new Ceylon black tea factory in Southeast Asia at that time, the Chimu Black Tea Factory. The tea factory provided many jobs, and many community elders had experience working in the old tea factory. Along the way, with the rise and fall of the black tea industry, the lights of the old tea factories have been turned off, but there are still many tea farmers who inherit the tea gardens and continue the black tea industry conscientiously. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53599592761_9d06dbaf20_c.jpg **From century-old camellia to wheat-flavored Assam** **Darjeeling style ruby with small winter chrysanthemums** __Choose three representative Lu Peng black teas and a floral black tea__ Camellia is the most representative tea species in Taiwan and has the longest history. It has been grown in Lupeng for more than a hundred years. Camellia in Lupeng is known for its purple-bud camellia that has a ripe fruity aroma and is less resistant to soaking. Assam and the mixed-breed Ruby No. 18 from India are the two most common varieties in the Lu Peng area. However, in different seasons, the tastes produced in different ways vary greatly. The "Standard Assam" selected this time refers to the standard flavor in the Sun Moon Lake Black Tea Evaluation Competition. It has a thick taste, with a wheat aroma and sweetness, and is also suitable for making milk tea. "Darjeeling Style Ruby" is a new attempt by tea growers this year. It is fermented for a long time using Darjeeling methods. Its mint and cinnamon variety has a distinct aroma, but it has a smooth taste due to its low astringency. It has a fruity flavor and is suitable for savoring. . Xiaodongju is based on camellia. The purple bud camellia of Xiangying Black Tea selected this time is very sweet, paired with Hongyun No. 21 from Xianwen Tea House with a slightly thicker taste, and the annual winter call of Puli Qingnong Shouan A large number of volunteers, hand-picked friendly chrysanthemums. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53599800253_5f06ed5659_c.jpg **About tea and travel** __Travel with black tea and enjoy a story about deer pennies__ Starting from the original intention of "let Lu Peng Black Tea be seen", in 2023, we will successively cooperate with three small farmers in Xiangcha Lane, and use activities to lead participants to see the stories that each farmer wants to tell through tea; we also hope that tourism will flourish and develop. At that time, those small and exquisite tea factories and tea shops could continue to show the colorful diversity of Sun Moon Lake black tea. When you open the outer box, you can see the scattered map of Lu Peng Fragrant Tea Lane. After drinking Lu Peng black tea, you are welcome to follow Lu Peng’s drinking tour next time. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53598720857_ccd5b52de2_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53598720867_b67a3b5df3_c.jpg ■ Product name: [Small Farmer Gifts] Sun Moon Lake Black Tea Guide - Lu Peng Fragrant Tea Lane (Four Selected Tea Bags)/Holiday Gifts Contents: 4 selected tea bags (100-year-old mountain tea, Assam tea, ruby and small winter chrysanthemum) + Lu Peng Xiang Tea Lane map + tea drink introduction card ■ Product name: Centennial Purple Bud Camellia Weight: 3g Ingredients: Organically farmed tea Shelf life: 2 years (unopened) ■ Product name: Standard Assam black tea Weight: 3g Ingredients: Friendly Farmed Tea Shelf life: 2 years (unopened) ■ Product name: Darjeeling style ruby black tea Weight: 3g Ingredients: Organically farmed tea leaves Shelf life: 2 years (unopened) ■Product name: Xiaodongju black tea Weight: 2.8-3g/package Ingredients: Original leaf tea (Camellia sinensis, Hongyun), friendly farming chrysanthemum, friendly farming chrysanthemum Shelf life: half a year (unopened)
