Yu Shan (Jade Mountain, 玉山) is the tallest mountain in East Asia with a height of 13,000 ft. above sea level. This area is one of the most remote wilderness regions in Taiwan. Yu Shan Oolong is among the top grades of oolong tea, and the production quantity is very limited, especially in the spring season.
The tea farm is located at 1,600 meters above sea level, near the piedmont side of Jade Mountain in Xinyi Township, Nantou County. The tea farmer has grown tea there for 30 years. All teas from his farm are handpicked and made by his family.
The farmer provides two flavors of tea: yellow package with light smoky flavor and purple package with caramel flavor.

Sanne Tea is the place where you can find high-quality and pesticide-free Taiwanese tea. The founder came from a Taiwanese family that loves and drinks tea for several generations. We want to share our enthusiasm and passion for Taiwanese tea and natural farming with the world. As our commitment, we source and sell 100% natural, zero pesticide teas. We are very excited about the teas that we have to offer, and are very much looking forward to meeting other tea lovers here. We worked hard to find the Taiwanese tea that is 100% grown in Taiwan and build the relationships with local farmers, not to mention that the tea has to be affordable. We, along with several tea farmers who we trust, would like to promote true Taiwanese tea to the global market. Thank you for visiting us and please go to our website:www.sannetea.com
