Review: Visiting Tea & Magic Hand’s Si Ji Chun Factory in Taiwan
The highlight of this visit was seeing how clean and well-organized the tea-making process was. The factory mainly produces tea as a base for milk tea beverages, but in my opinion, their tea base is excellent on its own. It works beautifully as a light, cold-brewed oolong—floral, fragrant, and incredibly easy to drink.

During the visit, we learned the differences between hand-picking and mechanical harvesting, each method producing distinct results. We also saw how the leaves are withered in a shaded area using natural wind—a gentle drying process that prepares the leaves for the next steps like oxidation and roasting.
