Jian'an Tea House Introduction
Sanxia District has been one of the important distribution centers for Taiwan's tea and camphor industries since the Qing Dynasty. In the mountainous areas near Sanxia, tea farmers have cultivated green tea for generations, leading to the establishment of world-class century-old tea factories. Among them, Jianan Tea House has passed down its tradition through four generations, with a history of tea production that adheres to ancient methods. Its renowned teas, including Bi Luo Chun, Longjing green tea, Honey Black Tea, and Oriental Beauty tea, enjoy international acclaim and consistently win awards in Taiwan tea competitions. Notably, Jianan Tea House stood out at the 2006 World Tea Competition in Nantou, winning a gold medal in the black tea category amidst fierce competition from 16 participating countries. The amber tea color and honey-like aroma, combined with a smooth mouthfeel, provide a refreshing experience, which led to the naming of this extraordinary Honey Black Tea as Jianan Black Tea, establishing a new foundation for the Sanxia tea industry. The fourth-generation owner, Wang Wei-Cheng, stated that Jianan Black Tea went on to win a silver award in the black tea category at the second "Kaitai Cup" in Mainland China in 2007, further enhancing the reputation of Sanxia black tea.
