In the early morning,

high within the mountains of Taiwan,

Chinese women begin harvesting oolong tea.

They pick the fresh, tender leaves from the top of the tea plant.

The leaves are put out in the sun to oxidize.

The leaves are then dried

indoors before being packed up

and shipped.

Taiwan produces an exquisite oolong tea with a rich, deep taste and health properties

that aid in digestion, help lower cholesterol

and speed up metabolism.

Special thanks to Karen Xiao,

oolong tea agent in Taiwan
