Jian'an Tea House Introduction
Sanxia has been one of the important distribution centers for Taiwan's tea and camphor industries since the Qing Dynasty. The tea farmers in the mountainous areas near Sanxia planted green tea extensively, leading to the establishment of a century-old world-class tea factory. Among them, Jianan Tea House has been passed down to the fourth generation, with a hundred-year history of tea production that adheres to traditional methods. Renowned for its Bi Luo Chun, Longjing green tea, honey black tea, and Oriental Beauty tea, Jianan has gained international acclaim and is a consistent winner in Taiwanese tea competitions. Notably, Jianan Tea House stood out in the 2006 World Famous Tea Competition held in Nantou, winning the gold medal in the black tea category among competitors from 16 countries. Its amber tea color and honey-like fragrance, combined with a smooth and fulfilling taste that glides down the throat, resulted in the naming of this remarkable honey black tea as Jianan Black Tea, establishing a new foundation for the Sanxia tea industry. The fourth-generation owner, Wang Wei-cheng, mentioned that Jianan Black Tea also won the silver award in the black tea category at the second "Kaijie Cup" competition in mainland China in 2007, further enhancing the reputation of Sanxia black tea.
