Terroir: MiaoLi is one of the most well-known Oriental Beauty growing areas in Taiwan. Located at an altitude of 400m, tea trees grow on the leeward side of hills with both high humidity and lots of sunlight which create the ideal environment for attracting green leafhopper (Jacobiasca formosana). The bites of leafhoppers start the oxidation of the leaves which produces distinctive fruity and honey flavour.
