Fushoushan Farm is in Lishan at an elevation higher than 2000m, meaning that this farm is wholly within the high-mountain climate. Tea trees grow more slowly in colder weather, resulting in smaller and softer leaves that have a higher concentration of nutritious substances.

The farm stands along the southern mountainside of Lishan Mountain, surrounded by tea trees and elegant flowers.

The Difference between High Mountain Tea and Low Altitude Tea

In Taiwan, teas grown below 800m are notably different from high-mountain teas due to effects from the geological features and climate. Taiwan is a mountainous island where more than two-thirds of the total area is found in the mountains, meaning that the land has abundant fresh water and excellent drainage - and also that the climate can be complicated. The mountainous geography allows for both the monsoon and high mountain climates to coexist; the air temperature drops about 6 degrees for every kilometer above sea level, so therefore, these mountains are cool year-round. This in turn causes tea to grow more slowly, and taken on a softer, elegant aroma with a noticeably floral taste. The unique geography also allows distinctive nutritious substances to form in the tea, a trait which low-altitude teas lack.
