Long before cultivated tea arrived, Taiwan’s indigenous peoples harvested Shan Cha for \u003cstrong\u003emedicinal and ceremonial use\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike standardized cultivars such as \u003cstrong\u003eJin Xuan (TTES No. 12)\u003c\/strong\u003e, Shan Cha grows as scattered wild bushes and is difficult to cultivate, so production is extremely limited and much of it must still be hand-harvested. Most supplies of this rare wild tea never leave Taiwan. This makes authentic Shan Cha a highly sought-after tea collector's item—and, of course, this one is \u003cstrong\u003e100% organic\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen made into black tea, it produces a smooth, savory-sweet cup with distinctive notes of \u003cstrong\u003eblackberry, honey, cream, raisin, and freshly baked oatmeal cookies\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes from Staff:\u003c\/strong\u003e Great tea for a book, a movie, or a quiet afternoon at home. It’s also a fun one to share with friends because very few people ever get the chance to taste Taiwan’s original wild tea.
