THE RARE TEA COLLECTION
At Saicho, we are on a perpetual quest to uncover and honour the artistry of tea production. We are excited to share Sixty Stone Mountain, a rare find that embodies the essence of Taiwan’s lush tea-growing regions. This sparkling tea is a tribute to the meticulous cultivation practices and the unique terroir of Fuli, Hualien, which produces tea of unparalleled character and quality. Our commitment to sourcing single-origin teas ensures that each sip tells the unique story of its birthplace.
ORIGIN AND TERROIR
Spanning just two-thirds of a hectare and at an altitude of 945 metres above sea level, this unique plot thrives from the moisture brought by the Pacific Ocean's Kuroshio current. The tea’s distinct characteristics are a result of the meticulously maintained ecological diversity of the tea garden, where tiny leafhoppers flourish. These tea jassids help impart a honey-like fragrance, a signature trait of this exceptional high mountain tea.
CRAFTSMANSHIP AND EXPERTISE
Handpicked in July 2023, this delicate tea was expertly transformed under the guidance of Tea Master Junjie Lin. The leaves underwent a careful process to become a black tea with around 90% oxidation. Over several months, the tea was re-roasted, enhancing and preserving its rich aroma and intricate flavour profile.
