This is a whole new tea production area we never met before. Welcome to Caopintou (草坪頭), an area more commonly known for its "Yushan tea" production.
 
Yushan, also known as Jade Mountain is a sacred mountain in Taiwan. The elevation of its peak is 3952 meters high, so you might be thinking "wow the tea here must be super good" right now. Sadly, no tea can survive elevation this high as far as we know, so the tea was grown way below Yushan at an elevation of 1200 meters.

So why the tea from this region is called "Yushan tea" then? If you ever climbed Yushan before, you will know that Caopintou will be the place to pass by before reaching the entrance of Yushan trail.
 
For this "Fog Dragon" controlling the withering and rolling timing was crucial in order to produce a perfect fermentation. The result is a beautiful "small-varietal" black tea.
