**Over a Century of Indigenous Taiwanese Mountain Tea**
__Tea trees dating back to the Qing Dynasty have evolved over time, transforming into today's rich flavors.__
Mountain tea is Taiwan's most representative and ancient tea varietal, growing in Lugu for over a century.
The farmers taking over their family tea gardens are often third, fourth, or even fifth-generation tea growers. Their childhood memories are filled with playing and helping out in the tea fields. After leaving home to work, their hearts remained with their family's land, prompting them to return and continue the legacy, unwilling to let it fall into disrepair.
Over the past hundred years, Lugu's mountain tea has grown interspersed with different tea varietals, developing a diverse array of forms and rich flavors. This attracts many to Sun Moon Lake in search of the century-old black tea taste. Its characteristic ripe fruit aroma and tolerance for longer steeping make it suitable for beginners, serving as an entry point into large-leaf black teas.
The "Centennial Friendly Mountain Tea" is selected from the summer harvest. The dry leaves carry a honey-sweet aroma, and the brewed tea offers a rich layering of flavors.
The most prominent note is ripe fruit, followed by woody undertones, a sweet and sour note reminiscent of preserved plums, and a subtle hint of lemon essential oil.

Driven by the initial aspiration to "make Lugu black tea visible," Tea Talk Travel has collaborated with local small-scale farmers. Through tea ceremony experiences, hands-on activities, workshops, videos, and podcasts, they guide people to discover the local black tea flavors and its century of development, revealing the stories each farmer wishes to share.
This year, they further introduce "Four Black Teas for Beginners," selecting the Lugu series black teas most suitable for beginner tasting in 2024. From the oldest Centennial Mountain Tea, the familiar Assam, the uniquely distinct Ruby, to the Westerner's favorite Hong Yun, each comes with clear brewing instructions. This allows novices to easily enjoy fine tea at home.
