What is TeaTalk All About?
TeaTalk Group, a family legacy since 1950, has blossomed through four generations. This group isn’t just about tea; it’s a full-circle operation owning the Chi Lai Mountain tea garden, tea factory, refining factory, private guesthouse, retail stores, and even the TeaTalk Academy. With such a complete production and sales chain, quality control is a given. Beyond just selling premium tea leaves, TeaTalk is passionate about spreading tea knowledge and education on a global scale. It’s more than business—it’s a culture, a tradition, and a commitment.
The Main Benefit: Authenticity and Sustainability
TeaTalk’s dedication to authenticity and environmental responsibility stands out. Here are some key highlights:
- Certified by the Council of Agriculture since 2008, ensuring safe and genuine MIT high mountain oolong tea.
- Over eight years of maintaining this certification, proving consistent quality.
- First in the world (2016) to receive international certification for carbon and water footprints of oolong tea.

TeaTalk’s Unique Approach to Tea Production
What sets TeaTalk apart is its integrated approach. Owning everything from the tea garden to the refining factory means they control every step of the process. This hands-on method guarantees that every leaf meets their high standards. Plus, the private guesthouse offers visitors a chance to experience tea culture firsthand—talk about immersive!
Promoting Global Tea Education
Oolong tea is one of Taiwan’s few world-renowned products, yet Taiwan isn’t among the top ten producers globally. So, how does TeaTalk keep Taiwan’s edge? By investing in education. The TeaTalk Academy, founded in 2015, is all about promoting professional tea knowledge and international certification courses. It’s a smart move to keep Taiwan’s tea culture thriving and respected worldwide.
Commitment to Quality and Consumer Trust
TeaTalk’s mission is crystal clear: provide consumers with safe, non-toxic premium Taiwanese tea. This isn’t just marketing fluff—it’s backed by certifications and years of dedication. Consumers can enjoy their tea knowing it’s authentic, carefully produced, and environmentally responsible. That kind of trust? Priceless.
