Jian An Tea House Introduction
Sanxiayung has been one of Taiwan's major distribution centers for tea and camphor since the Qing Dynasty. In the mountainous areas near Sanxia, tea farmers planted green tea, leading to the establishment of world-class tea factories with a history of over a century. Jianan Tea House, which has been passed down for four generations, adheres to traditional tea-making methods with a century-old history. Their renowned teas, including Biluochun, Longjing green tea, Honey-scented black tea, and Oriental Beauty tea, have gained international acclaim, and they are perennial champions in Taiwan's tea competitions. Notably, Jianan Tea House stood out in the 2006 World Tea Competition in Nantou, winning the gold medal in the black tea category among competitors from 16 countries. The amber color and honey-like aroma of their tea, combined with its smooth and full-bodied taste, create a delightful experience that brings comfort to every sip. This remarkable Honey-scented black tea was then named Jianan black tea, establishing a new foundation for the tea industry in Sanxia. The fourth-generation owner, Wang Weicheng, stated that Jianan black tea also won the silver award in the black tea category at the 2nd "Kaijie Cup" in Mainland China in 2007, further enhancing the reputation of Sanxia black tea.
