Taste the Mountains of Taiwan

Three generations of tea craftsmanship, bringing the character of Taiwan’s tea mountains to Australia.

Our Story

Three Generations
One Love for Taiwanese Tea

Born in the misty mountains of Lugu, “Shian Piin Tea” began with a single tea sapling planted by our grandfather in 1975. Over three generations, our family has dedicated itself to growing, crafting, roasting, and carefully tasting exceptional Taiwanese tea. From our grandfather’s first tea garden, to our father’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship and our mother’s meticulous care of organic teas, every generation has added its own chapter to our story.

Today, that heritage continues in Australia. “Shian Piin Tea” brings the authentic flavours, aromas, and traditions of Taiwan to tea lovers in Australia, creating a meaningful connection between the mountains we call home and the community we now call our own. More than just tea, every cup carries the dedication, memories, and craftsmanship of three generations.
