It was over 200 years ago that the original tea plants grown in Formosa came from the Fujian Province in mainland China. It was the perfect climate and soil condition that allowed these beautiful teas to flourish. Since 1870, the teas from present day Taiwan still bear the name originally given to the island, Formosa.

All tea has a shelf life. Proper storage is necessary to prolong freshness. Store tea in opaque containers to avoid contact with light. Use a container with a tightsealing lid to guard against moisture and to prevent tea from drying out. Keep in a cool place. Refrigeration is advised for long-term storage of green teas.
