Three gift sets, each a small window into the teas and tastes of the Sun Moon Lake region: a tea from Lugao, paired with snacks from Nantou farms working in a friendly way with the land. Browse them here, then scroll down for how to order.
Between Teas · 茶之間
We live in the tea region, so each season we choose a tea from a Sun Moon Lake garden or factory we work with, and pair it with snacks from nearby farms. The idea is simple: let the landscape of this place turn up in an ordinary cup at home.
Set 01
茶之間・經典款
Small and light to carry. Sweet and savoury from Puli and Jiji, set against the mint-like note of Ruby — the black tea Sun Moon Lake is known for.
NT$ 380 / set
Set 02
茶之間・品飲組
A set to sit down with. Sun Moon Lake black tea blended with herbs grown without chemicals in Nantou — one calming, one soft and sweet — plus naturally dried lemon from Guoxing.
NT$ 490 / set
Set 03
茶之間・豐富禮
The most generous of the three. It starts from a spring high-mountain oolong from Shanlinxi, then spreads out into snacks from Puli and Yuchi.
NT$ 790 / set
A light sleeve-and-handle box, L26 × W15 × H5.5 cm, with a folded guide to the teas of Sun Moon Lake inside.
The sets come packaged for giving, so nothing else is needed. A hand-written card can be added — just say so when you order.
The cover artwork · Humming along Tea
The painting on the box cover comes from Humming along Tea (茶日生活), an exhibition series we worked on. Artist Yeh Jhuwan takes her inspiration from the natural world, looking at how different environments and cultures shape the flavour of a tea.
She makes her own pigments from minerals, plants and other natural materials found in eastern Taiwan, and layers them into a picture of the taste and the landscape of Sun Moon Lake tea.

Single teas
If you would rather have the tea on its own, these are the ones we work with. They come as loose leaf or tea bags depending on the tea — our partner shop has what's currently in stock.
The four black teas of Sun Moon Lake · 日月潭四大紅茶
百年山茶 Shancha
Grown in the mountain forests around Sun Moon Lake, evolved over generations from Taiwan's native wild tea trees. Softly sweet, with ripe fruit and a woody undertone.
阿薩姆
Brought from India in 1925 and now the best known of the four. Full-bodied and malty, with real depth. Good with milk.
紅玉 Hong Yu（台茶18號）
Bred at Taiwan's tea research station from Taiwan native tea and a Burmese large-leaf variety. A natural mint and cinnamon character.
紅韻 Hong Yun（台茶21號）
From the same research station, but more floral and fruity: citrus and pomelo blossom, with a fine texture.
Also from us
花香紅烏龍 · 台東鹿野
From Luye in Taitung. Heavily rolled, heavily oxidised and roasted, which gives it a sweet, full body and open floral aroma. Good hot or cold-brewed.
香草紅茶
Sun Moon Lake black tea blended with friendly-grown herbs: rose geranium for something soft and sweet, chrysanthemum and thyme for something calming.
