The Full Repertoire of Taiwan Hakka Tea

Like rice, tea plays an equally integral part in Hakka people's life, since they mostly live near mountain areas suitable for growing tea. Foothills in Western Taiwan, such as Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Miaoli, serve as headquarters for Hakka tea culture.


Hakka people have a fine collection of teas, the most famous ones being Oriental Beauty, Lei Cha, and Bitter Orange Tea. They provide free tea for anyone that visits their communities. They also have tea tailored for every special occasion, including God's Tea during religious ceremonies, Guest Tea for receiving guests, and even Bride's Tea at weddings. Tea-inspired musicals and folk songs are written and performed with regularity. All the things mentioned above breathe life into a thriving Hakka tea culture.
