Formosa Assam pays tribute to the early days of black tea production in Taiwan. In an effort to produce delicious black teas, famous cultivars (Manipuri, Kyang, Jaipuri) from the Assam region of India were imported to Taiwan in 1923 for cultivation trial and research. The TRES #8 Assam cultivar is an outcome of this effort—a chosen batch from the lot of Jaipuri tea trees.

Mr. Liao inherited an abandoned field of the TRES #8 Assam cultivar from his father-in-law. This lot of tea trees is now over 50 years old and has been farmed without any chemicals or fertilizers. Even weeds are pulled manually by the Liao family as their regular weekly outing.

Tapping into Mr. Liao's thirty-year-long tea-making experience, this black tea is deliciously malty and fruity with a flare of woodsy earthiness. The darker roast brings a sense of calm and ease. This tea reminds us of a wise grandpa reading his favorite novel in an armchair; he is warm and steady.
