Highly reputable and positively reviewed company

I`ve worked at Formosan farm company for two years a few years ago, I worked and finished some big projects with Dr. Han during that time, including the first Organic and Natural Food Festival. Dr. Han was the owner with enthusiasm and integrity I`ve ever met, I was very happy to work for her and she always paid me on time even though we worked in different countries. The comment made about her not paying is false and ridiculous but Trustpilot refuses to remove it.

Highly trustworthy company with a positive experience.

I am a professional food specialist with 20 + years in the natural health industry and Formosan Farms Ltd are a long term client of mine, Dr I Han is the most trustworthy person I have ever dealt with and has a high level of integrity. The comment made about her not paying is from a professional Troll with a personality disorder with an axe to grind, jealously intent upon destroying other peoples' success due to being a failure themself. Dr Han has never not honoured her commitments and always pays on time. The comment made about her not paying is false but Trustpilot refuse to remove it. My experience of this company has always been positive.

Fraud and Thief

I worked for Dr Han at the Organic and Natural Food Festival last year. I worked 2 full days with a very early start. It has been a whole year and I am still waiting for her to pay me. I have asked her but she is refusing to pay me.

Hampstead Health Coach

Health & Happiness being at the forefront of anything which centres and rebalances my body thus creating a state of homeostasis is what we want.

Once we begin to see and treat our food as medicine naturally we start to make better choices as to what we put in our body.

Why has Formosan Farms become my first partner organisation ? A strong belief that I can and will only recommend that which I've tried, enjoyed and have found its way into the fabric of my lifestyle, then and only then will I be happy to spread the word.

My top reason for drinking these teas, Formosan Farms teas have massively helped me to reduce and control my coffee intake and still enjoy a morning comfort hot drink which is packed full of goodness and taste great!

Tastes and flavors embedded in my memories

It's easy to have a cup of tea here in China with many varieties, such as Bohea tea, Longjing, Aged Puer, Oolong, but quality of them vary. It would feel like "lucky draw" when you drink one satisfying your taste buds, depending on seasons, water quality, or who/where make it.

Formosan Farms' teas are from many small peasant farms in Taiwan taking care original tea trees organically. You can also tell out how those farmers taking care tea leaves by picking instead of shaving when tea leaves developing in water in your cup. I think that's why you can taste real favor of each tea varieties. Some are with flavor of honey, some with fruits, all smooth no matter in hot water or in cold brew.

I remember I had an outside trip in summer. For preparing for the long-walking trip, I put some tea into a bag pouring some cold water in the bottle. On the second day I grab the bottle of cold brew tea starting my trip. When I took rest to drink, the sweet and light, elegant flavor fully cured my thirsty and not bitter at all after one night! I event could not drink too much in order to save the bottle of tea to complete my trip.

The package I'd got (9 small packs in a box) made me want to try each variety to experience different taste and flavor, as well as the color of the tea soup. Just like wine tasting :) I like red jade, and others are good and smooth too. I think the way of package would help you to find one compatible with your tongue if you are the frist time to try teas from Formosan Farms :)

Formosan Farms' teas are the "grand cru" of teas

Formosan Farms' teas are organic, single-original teas carefully harvested and prepared by generational artisanal tea farmers. The fresh, fragrant and mellow tastes linger on your tongue well after the last sip, and are delicious hot or cold-brewed, steaming hot or iced. The Sun-Moon Red Jade and the green teas are my favorites. They really can be considered the "grand cru" or "premier cru" of teas.

Highly recommend Alishan High Mountain Oolong

When brewing Alishan High Mountain Oolong, whole leaves open from the small round shape and dance in the tea pot. During the next 6 minutes of brewing and waiting for the best taste of the tea, the beautiful memory of Formosan tea course in their high mountain farm with the famous sunrise and sea-cloud melt into the tea. What a luxury! I love Formosan Farms tea, pure and natural, highly recommended!

I am a tea drinker myself and was amazed when I first knew this tea from Taiwan had been selected as goodies bag in one of the UK Royal Family's Gala Dinner. Such an honour they have especially in renowned British tea culture market. It's like you're doing apparel brand and compete in France, imagine how tough it gonna be. The branding and packaging are world class level, has no doubt about it, and the flavour as well as quality of the tea, my god, I couldn't find any in Malaysia that able replace Formosan Farms Tea.

An authentic and premium oriental tea

I've been as a daily tea drinker since I was young because tea is a common drink in Taiwan. During the college time, I was actively participating in a tea culture club . I’ve been looking for and tasting premium teas across countries for decades. But not until I started to drink Formosan Farm's teas three years ago could I claimed to find the best quality of authentic tea I've ever tasted! I admire Dr. Han to help those organic small tea farmers to market the best quality teas overseas, in particular the very crowded UK tea market. But I feel very confident on all the specialty teas provided by Formosan Farms, which are extremely rare to find in any other brands to offer. You can taste the best representative Taiwan teas at one collection. Among them, Native Mountain Tea is my favorite because it is rarely grown and obtained in the market. I was surprised to find that the one offered by Formosan Farms is among the best of natural growing Native Mountain Tea. It has a distinctive flavor and floral taste that are only indigenous to Taiwan terroir. More amazingly, it will not affect my sleeping and actually improve my sleeping quality. Highly recommended to anyone who is in search for a true and premium oriental tea.
