Taiwan Yefang Tea Culture Tour
Spring 2026 Program
We’re proud to introduce Taiwan’s first curated tea tour centered on Yefang Cha — wild tea grown with minimal human influence — in partnership with our trusted farmers and collaborators, whom we will meet along the way.
"Ye fang cha 野放茶 is the most sustainable agriculture approach for tea growing; tea produced without human interference. The interaction of the trees with living organism in the soil, brings out the original taste and texture of the tea".
Master Jian
This program is original and unique to ho yum tea, curated 100% based on our own experience in multiple visits to the island in the past decade. Every place we visit, every master we meet, and every meal we will have, has been tried before or planned by us exclusively for this trip. This is not a tourist package or bundle ever offered before by anyone else.
Small Group
A small group of travelers up to 8 people, lead by Pink and Nadi
9 Days Program
We will meet different tea masters and hosts with unique specialities
100% Original
Based on our own experience, every activity was planned by us exclusively for this trip
We will travel with a private minibus, as a small group of up to 8 travelers, in a boutique program for 9 days & nights in northwest and central Taiwan. The program will be focusing on natural wild growing and tea making, combined with local culinary gems and cultural activities. This is the ultimate experience for tea enthusiasts who want to take on a meaningful, educational journey to Taiwan, to meet real tea masters, the pioneers of yefang cha, without worrying about language and cultural gaps. We provide full guidance and translation to all the activities in an unforgettable trip to Taiwan.
"Tea grown with pesticides and fertilizers has lost its original properties and medicinal values. Natural wild tea is an elixir that combines the energy of heaven and earth; it’s about cha qi and energy."
Master Chen
Local Culinary Hidden Gems
