Why High Mountain Tea is The Choice of Tea Lovers?

Mar 6, 2023

China is the origin of tea and also the first country to drink tea. China has a history of making tea for more than 2,000 years. In the long history of tea development, various kinds of tea have been created in China. According to statistics, only in the categories of green tea and black tea, there are hundreds of kinds of tea. Every kind of tea from our Modern High Mountain Tea Gardens has a unique flavor. They are famous Chinese tea and authentic high mountain tea.

High mountain tea gardens produce teas that excel in taste compared to their counterparts grown at lower elevations. Here's why:

Since ancient times, high mountains in mist are good places to produce high-quality tea. First, the vegetations on high mountains are lush and overgrown. The soils contain high level of organic matters and have adequate nutrition. Second, the air humidity in this kind of environment is high. It is beneficial to keep the softness of leaf buds. Third, the solar radiation on high mountains, which has abundant diffused and short-wave light, is different from solar radiation on plains. This sunlight condition is beneficial to the metabolism of nitrogen in tea trees, which promotes the accumulation of amino acids in tea leaves. Forth, there is a large temperature difference between day and night in high mountains. The high temperature in daytime promotes the photosynthesis, which helps to accumulate organic matters. The low temperature at night inhibits respiration and decreases energy consumption. It is useful to the accumulation of tea substances.

Collectively, these factors contribute to the exceptional taste of teas sourced from high mountain tea gardens.

Below, you'll find a selection of teas meticulously chosen from iTeaworld's collection of modern high mountain tea garden teas.
