It is one of the supreme areas to grow tea, so right now we're gonna go on a tour of everything tea.

I've traveled up and over the jungle clad mountains outside of Taipei

and right below me is a tea plantation

there are three harvest seasons here in Taiwan with the tea plants

and what they do is they trim them down and then they wait 45 days

and this is what becomes the tea, pretty cool!

You see this gondola right here? well I'm gonna jump on this bad boy it's gonna take me up the mountain

beautiful sights, let's go!

This place is so cool it's like I'm floating look at that! love it.

We're just above the city I get to see the sprawling sprawling center of Taipei

jungle, temples, it's beautiful.

That giant teapot can only mean one thing

I am at the Tea Research and Promotion Center. Let's go learn about tea.

What I'm holding right now is Oolong tea which is one of the specialties of the region

yeah, it's a winner!

This big plate right here is full of tea seeds and this isn't for making tea

they actually make oil out of this for cooking pretty cool.

Of all the tea products they make, this one right here is by far my favorite

ice cream! it really does taste like tea.

I learned a lot about tea today I got to spend some time in the beautiful great outdoors near Taipei

and I'm heading home with my very own bag of tea.
