Hsiang Ting Tea Co. Introduction
The Zhou family has been growing, picking, and processing tea since the first generation, and now it is in the seventh generation. The sixth generation, Mr. Zhou Qingzong (a board member of the Taiwan Tea Manufacturers’ Association and the New Taipei Tea Manufacturers’ Association), has elevated the tea-making techniques to an extraordinary level, participating in tea competitions and winning numerous awards, while unreservedly teaching the skills to peers and passing them down to the next generation. Currently, they specialize in producing Dayu Ridge tea, Lishan tea, Shanlinxi tea, high mountain black tea, and the king of green tea, Biluo Chun. They manage every aspect from tea garden management to picking and processing, overseeing everything personally on-site. The Zhou family is likely the only tea farmer in the Taipei and New Taipei areas who personally produces tea in the three major tea regions: Dayu Ridge, Lishan, and Shanlinxi. The production quantity of tea leaves from each tea region is approximately between 2,000 to 4,000 Taiwan catty, varying by region. About 95% of the tea is sold to tea companies and traders, and the quality varies slightly from batch to batch. The top-quality leaves are reserved for retail, ensuring that the tea purchased by consumers is of the highest quality, receiving praise for being both excellent in quality and affordable.
