Taiwanese Teas
High-Mountain Terroir (Gaoshan 茶)
Much of Taiwan’s best tea is grown at 1,000–2,600 meters elevation.
High altitude means:
- Cool temperatures → slower leaf growth
- Frequent mist and clouds → diffused sunlight
- Large day–night temperature swings → higher aromatic compound concentration
Result:
Teas with exceptional fragrance, clarity, sweetness, and layered complexity, especially in oolongs.
Guardians of the tea mountains
Tea grows in mountain cloud forests.
Pandas live in mountain cloud forests.
The finest Taiwanese oolongs are grown above the clouds, between 1,000 and 2,600 meters, where cool air and mountain fog slow the leaf and deepen its character.
Red pandas inhabit these same high-elevation cloud forests across Asia, where bamboo and mist sustain one of the world’s rarest species.
Tea and panda are born of the same mountain ecology.
Protecting these elevations protects them both.
The Panda Promise
Hygge Panda is now the American extension of a well-established Taiwanese Tea Mastership going back 120 years.
All Taiwanese teas come directly and strictly from Master Fang's supply.
Additionally, we work directly with Red Panda Network to support the conservation of pandas.
Brew the forest. Protect its life.
How it Works
Every 50 grams of tea sold supports protection of ~2,700 sq ft of red panda forest for one year.
That's ~540 sq ft of red panda forest for every pot of tea you drink!
