FAQ

We strictly regulate the use of pesticides and their schedules for contract farming and our own cultivated tea gardens to ensure the safety of the tea leaves. After the leaves are processed, they are immediately sent to a third-party unit for inspection, and only after passing the test can they be brought in. For all purchased raw materials, each batch must be accompanied by product inspection reports before being accepted, establishing a clear and traceable process to ensure the safety of all ingredients.

Yes, it is safe to consume. Through a series of foreign matter removal, microbial control, and third-party inspections, we have the confidence to ensure that every cup of tea delivered to you is safe and reliable. If you are concerned about fine dust particles during the processing, we recommend a brief steeping before consumption. The first brew contains many nutrients, and with each subsequent brewing, the amount extracted will decrease. As for pesticide residue, most pesticides used are liposoluble, which means they are hardly soluble in water. Products that pass inspections have residue levels far below safe intake levels, so you can use our products with peace of mind.

According to the current regulations of the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Food and Drug Administration, there are currently no specific limits set for heavy metals in tea leaves in our country.

Before packaging, all tea products undergo high-temperature heating to ensure their moisture content is below 6%, preventing microbial growth. Additionally, the packaging undergoes water immersion and destruction testing before mass production to ensure the seal strength meets the standards, eliminating the need for desiccants. If you notice any packaging damage, please do not purchase it for your safety. After opening, it is recommended to use the tea promptly or store it in a sealed, light-resistant container to maintain its optimal flavor.

“For products with multiple ingredients, they are listed in descending order based on their respective proportions. If the raw materials come from different countries, the country of origin is indicated after each ingredient. For example: Tea (Taiwan), Jasmine (Vietnam), to help consumers identify the sources. In the case of products imported from other countries and substantially processed in Taiwan (such as baking, cutting, blending), the country of origin is uniformly labeled as Taiwan.”

For all tea imported into Taiwan, strict inspections are conducted before entering the country to ensure safety. Since 2004, the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration has been inspecting Vietnamese tea imports batch by batch, providing absolute peace of mind regarding safety. Moreover, the tea plantations in Vietnam (mainly in the southern region, formerly a recreational area for US military personnel) do not overlap with the areas where defoliants (Agent Orange) were sprayed, so there is no issue of defoliant residues.

“Q: What is “”blending”” and does it mean mixing low-quality tea with high-quality tea? A: “”Blending”” is a crucial tea processing step in the commercial tea industry. As tea is an agricultural product, factors like harvest time, region, and daily weather during processing can lead to flavor variations even with the same processing method. To ensure consistency, after each batch of raw tea is processed, they are blended and mixed thoroughly, followed by roasting, to achieve a more uniform flavor profile. The purpose is to enhance and standardize the overall flavor quality of the tea batch, providing customers with consistently high-quality products. Each blended batch of tea is then compared to the standard sample to ensure its quality before entering the final packaging phase. This process is distinct from the practice of mixing teas to deceive customers, which is not employed by reputable manufacturers like us.”
