Premium Black Tea
KUMY Tea Plantation is located at the highest point of the home of Lishan’s New Gayang tribe. Situated at an outpost of the Black Forest, our plantation benefits greatly from an elevation of over 2200 meters high.
Elevation 2000-2200 MPluckers only select tender leaves or shoots which are 2 leaves and a bud or three leaves and a bud. When plucking, pluckers can’t injure the blade and they must keep the integrity of these fresh leaves or shoots because it influences the quality of the tea making process.

How to brew Black Tea
✦ KUMY tea Plantation ✦
- From the pure and unblemished beauty of Lishan’s Black Forest.
In 1995, my father planted the first tea shrub in Lishan region. Since then, father’s tea has encouraged me to move forward. In the Slamaw tribe, the Black Forest has guarded the land and flourished lives.
- Purity is our mission; sustainable nature is our faith. Kumy delivers the pure nectar of Lishan’s Black Forest.
Tea is a precious gift from God, so the best quality of tea is limited in quantity. We realized this principle, so we respect the nature totally. We harvest according to the laws of nature.
If God wanted us to have less harvest, we let the tea trees and land rest more. We do our best to balance between gives and gains. Such aspiration has been our golden rule for the past, now, and the future.
When external changes became dramatic, our beliefs remain solid and firm. Even though the global climate changes drastically, the Mother Nature heals herself naturally.
- Respect the Mother Nature is the only way of our cultivation.
- Our tea is tested in SGS lab every harvesting season. Honorary, we are awarded Two Star in iTQi in 2016 & Two Star in GT in 2017. This award brings Taiwan’s Lishan tea to international recognition.
