Wuzihzuo Tourist Tea Garden Introduction
Wuzhih Village is the hometown of Tianhe Tea. Since the Council of Agriculture promoted tea cultivation in 1973, under expert guidance and continuous improvements, the quality of tea leaves has gradually enhanced, and "Tianhe Tea" has finally emerged as a rising star in Taiwan’s tea production. Wuzhih has risen to become a well-known tea-producing area in the province, gaining recognition not only domestically but also internationally. With the economic development in the Ruisi area, road expansions, and the establishment of numerous leisure villas, tourists have flocked to this place. If you drive through the Wuzhih Plateau, you will see an expanse of tea plantations. About thirty to forty tea gardens, which produce and sell their own tea, are scattered across the broad Wuzhih Plateau. Each tea garden owner has unique secrets for making tea. Today, Wuzhih Village has developed into a brand-new tourist village. Visitors to the Hualien-Taitung Valley often stop at these tea gardens to enjoy tea, eat tea-flavored yokan, tea candies, green tea cakes, and tea pastries, making it a delightful experience in life. The tea produced in Wuzhih is primarily of the oolong tea variety, including Qingxin Oolong, Jin Xuan tea, and Jade Oolong. The tea leaves are thick and tender, with excellent flavors, making them very popular. Moreover, there are well-equipped resorts and guesthouses here. It is recommended that you take a trip to the Wuzhih Plateau on a weekend to taste the fragrant good tea and enjoy the leisure and relaxation of a pastoral holiday.
