During the 1920s, Assam tea plants were introduced to the island, and Yuchi became an important centre for their cultivation. Over the following decades, local growers and tea researchers developed a distinctive Taiwanese expression of these large-leaf tea plants, establishing a tradition that continues today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis tea is made from TTES No. 8, a cultivar selected in Taiwan from the Indian Jaipuri Assam lineage and officially named in 1973. Known for producing rich, rounded black teas with a gentle malty fragrance, it remains closely associated with the history of Sun Moon Lake tea. Here, its Assam heritage is expressed through a particularly smooth, fruit-forward cup.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe leaves are hand-picked from the Li family’s secluded garden in Yuchi Township, at approximately 700 metres above sea level. The family grows its tea without pesticides, with knowledge and responsibility passing from one generation to the next. Careful oxidation and drying bring out the leaves’ natural sweetness without an additional roasting stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe cup offers bright, gently tangy fruit notes, softened by a touch of buttery caramel sweetness. Its texture is smooth and flowing, balancing freshness with a rounded body and a clean finish. Enjoyed on its own, it reveals the finer details of its fruit and sweetness; a little milk gives it a softer, more comforting character. It is equally inviting served warm or chilled.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProfile:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bright fruit, gentle tanginess, buttery caramel sweetness, smooth finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Yuchi Township, Sun Moon Lake, Nantou County, Taiwan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElevation:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 700 m\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e April 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFarmer:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Li family\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCultivar:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e TTES No. 8 — Assam-derived large-leaf cultivar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOxidation:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e High\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoasting:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e None\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePicking:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Hand-picked\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrewing suggestion:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 90–95 °C | 4 g per 100 ml | 20–30 s for the first infusion, adjusting subsequent infusions to taste\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chamber Tea","offers":[{"title":"10","offer_id":62942405329283,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"25","offer_id":62942405362051,"sku":null,"price":11.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50","offer_id":62942405394819,"sku":null,"price":21.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100","offer_id":62942405427587,"sku":null,"price":40.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.chambertea.com\/ru\/products\/sun-moon-lake-t-8-assamica-black-tea","provider":"Chamber Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
