About this region
WhereGangkou Village in Manzhou — the only place in Pingtung that grows tea
ScaleSlopes at around 100 m, about 19 ha
Cultivars and characterWuyi stock came first; later the growers were guided onto Taicha No. 12 and others. Southern heat, long sun and the downslope wind give a cup that starts slightly bitter and only then turns sweet. That order is the whole character of the tea.

Gangkou tea from Manzhou is the southernmost tea in Taiwan, grown in sea wind. It brews long, tastes strong, and carries a bitterness that turns sweet — nothing like a high-mountain oolong. Kenting is on the way.
