Alishan High Mountain EM Oolong Tea

Overview


Mount Alishan, located in the central part of Taiwan, is famous for tea production.
Mr. Guowen Guo's tea farm, at altitude of 1,150-1,250 meters, is 1.6 ha large and produces about 1,800 kg of tea leaves every year.

Mr. Guo had been using high-grade fertilizers for a long time, however, he did not get the output he expected. So, when one of his friends  recommended using EM, he decided to do so. It's been 5 years since he started using EM.

EM Application

Activated EM・1, diluted 500-1,000 times, is sprayed before and after fertilization (3〜4 times per year). Organic fertilizer made from soybeans is applied in this farm.
