About Hwa Gung Tea
The history of the Hwa Gung Tea company can be traced back to 1918 during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan. More than 100 years ago, Hwa Gung Tea pioneered cultivation of tea in the highest areas of Taiwan, including the Huagang and Li Shan regions.
Starting with a modest tea shop, Hwa Gung Tea has grown to become a tea company that specializes in growing, harvesting, and processing its own tea leaves in the highest regions of Taiwan. As the company thrives with the fifth generation, its core values of quality, heritage, and people are exemplified by exceptional award winning teas loved by many.
Quality
Quality begins during the initial stages of growing and harvesting the tea, and continues when the leaves are handled, cleaned, and processed. Hwa Gung Tea has its products tested and certified by SGS, the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing, and certification company.
Hwa Gung Tea is involved in the entire tea making process to ensure continued development and refinement of its products. The techniques developed and refined over the generations have been preserved, which makes Hwa Gung Tea's oolong tea some of the finest in the world.
Heritage
History and tradition are the center of the company's heritage. Hwa Gung Tea has continued its century-long heritage of preserving the land where its tea grows and caring for people. These lasting values can be experienced by tasting the consistent quality of its tea.
People
From the beginning of the company to the current generation, gratitude and appreciation towards others is another value that Hwa Gung Tea still cherishes. Success of the company is owed to the benevolence of people, and the company's ancestors who invested hard work over a century to produce high quality tea. Consideration of others and their well-being is an important element that drives Hwa Gung Tea's commitment to provide quality products. The spirit of caring for people's health is demonstrated by the company's attention to safety of its products through independent evaluation by SGS.
These values are reasons why Hwa Gung Tea's products are an obvious choice for enjoying high quality oolong tea.
