ScaleAbout 2,300 ha under Wenshan Baozhong, around 3,000 ha across the whole area
Cultivars and characterWenshan Baozhong is jade-green, tightly twisted with a natural curl; the liquor is a lively honeyed green, the aroma forward, the taste sweet and round. Sanxia's Haishan teas include Baozhong, Longjing and Biluochun — the unfermented ones are rare in Taiwan. Shimen brought in the Yingzhi Hongxin cultivar for its Tieguanyin: rich and smooth, with a faint fruit acidity and a scent of its own.
