Taiwan is a land of contrasts, where lively markets, ancient temples, and vibrant cities coexist with spectacular nature. From peaks rising over 4,000 meters to coral reefs inhabited by sea turtles, the island offers an exceptional diversity of landscapes.
Renowned worldwide, Taiwan’s tea culture is especially distinguished by the refinement of its exceptional Oolong teas. Between semi-wild tea trees, organic farming, limited annual harvests, and entirely hand-crafted leaf processing, each production gives rise to truly outstanding grand crus.
Chen YuXiong is an award-winning tea master, recognized at the national competition for his “Oriental Beauty” tea. A highly sought-after instructor, he shares a rare expertise shaped by many years of experience.
He will be accompanied by Gin, our tea specialist, who has been running a tea house for more than 10 years. Multilingual and deeply passionate, she will act as the bridge between the tea master and the participants throughout the experience.
Coming from a family of tea masters in Nantou for four generations, YuXiong initially pursued studies in electrical engineering before quickly returning to his true passion: tea. Curious and demanding, he constantly seeks new techniques, explores endemic cultivars, and continuously experiments in pursuit of the aromatic balance he strives for. Behind his renowned expertise lies a humble, discreet, and remarkably approachable personality.
A leading figure in the prestigious region of Beipu, YuXiong has received numerous awards over the past five years for the excellence of his work, the quality of his productions, and the refinement of his aromatic profiles. From white tea to red tea, he masters the full range of tea-making techniques and will share with you a rare expertise shaped by both experience and tradition.
This is an advanced training program focused on the art of tea making, primarily designed for professionals and dedicated enthusiasts. It is not a purely touristic trip: while comfort is present, it remains simple, and the entire experience revolves around tea-related techniques and production processes. Everyone is welcome, but the program involves several dense and sometimes physically demanding days, making it closer to a professional immersion than a leisure-oriented retreat.
The training, accommodation, full support throughout the experience, transportation, and the meals mentioned are all included. A very detailed quotation will be provided if you would like to learn more.
