It is understood that the quality of tea in Taiwan is very good, coupled with the fact that consumers on the other side like it very much, so the price of tea sold in the mainland will be much higher. The most expensive tea in Taiwan, of course, is the competition-certified competition tea, such as the champion tea from Pinglin, which costs more than NT $100,000 a jin, Oriental Beauty Tea, and Alpine Oolong Tea, which costs more than NT $300,000. However, those are selected competition teas, and the auction price is also somewhat distorted. If competition tea is excluded, the most expensive tea in Taiwan should be the two tea areas, Lishan and Dayuling.

Oolong tea is the representative tea in Taiwan, and Alpine Oolong tea is the most popular tea. Alpine oolong tea is priced on the basis of altitude. Usually, the higher the altitude, the better the price.

Among them, the Lishan area is as high as 2500 meters. The tea here has a low output and good quality, and has always been the top alpine tea in Taiwan. After 2010, the wholesale price of pear mountain tea above 2000 meters above sea level is between 2500 yuan and 10000 yuan. And Dayuling tea area, 2200 meters to 2800 meters above sea level, the price is even more noble. Usually the wholesale price per jin is between 4000 yuan and 12000 yuan.

Dayuling Tea at an altitude of 2800 meters

If you are looking for the most expensive tea in Taiwan, in addition to competition tea, it should be Lishan tea and Dayuling tea. However, because of the high price, there are a lot of fake goods on the market, so you need to pay special attention when buying, and you'd better go to the place of origin to buy in person.
