Many different kinds of oolongs are made in the high mountains that run from the very north of Taiwan, near the capital Taipei, right down to the southernmost tip. Over the centuries, the island’s tea industry has been influenced by Dutch colonisers, mainland Chinese, and Japanese governors. Today, its range of high-quality teas is world famous.
