Assamica tea bushes from India were introduced in Taiwan during the Japanese occupation in 1926.

They have been successfully grown in the area of ​​Sun Moon Lake and Yuchi City. Large areas of primary forests were cleared for tea cultivation – this action opened a new chapter in the history of Taiwanese tea. The stage in which black tea began to gain importance – at that time it was produced mainly for export.
