Introduction
Every summer, Mt. Talampo in Fuli, about 800 meters in altitude, is the highest recommended place to appreciate daylilies in Eastern Taiwan. With a superb view, Mt. Talampo is located in the Coastal Mountains. When the sky is clear, tourists can see the whole view of the East Rift Valley. As well as experiencing the two-month orange daylily blossoming season every year, tourists can enjoy a cup of fragrant tea nourished by the green mountain.
Lin Chun-Chieh’s father also grew 24,000 tea trees, up to 2 acres. However, he did not have time to manage the tea trees. As a layman when it came to tea, Lin Chun-Chieh learned how to make tea from a Nantou tea master for a month at an emerging tea factory in Vietnam, introduced to him by his relatives. Taking lessons all day, he gained a full understanding of the tea-making process. After returning home, he started to make tea with the fresh tea leaves grown on his family’s farm. In his second year, he won first prize at the Hualien County Tea Making Contest.
Tea trees replace themselves every 20 years. The tea plants in Yishun are currently dominated by Taicha No. 12 Jinxuan, Yinxiang Oolong and Daye Oolong, while Qingxin Oolong is slowly being phased out. The tea trees on the Sixty Stone Mountain can be harvested five times a year. The tea cyanines harvested in spring and winter make a hemispherical oolong tea, and they can be harvested three times in summer and autumn.

Tea
In the past, there is a long rest in the summer harvest period after the tea trees are harvested. The tea farmers would trim the trees to promote growth. Efficacy last for about 15 days, and the next harvest is around two months off. In the past two years, Lin Junjie has gradually switched to organic cultivation, with no spraying done at all. After pruning, the tea trees heal on their own. Although the process takes more time, it is deemed much safer.
Lin Junjie and the tea production and marketing team on the mountain cooperated with the guidance of the Fuli Farmers’ Association to organize tea experience activities. Visitors can pick tea, make tea, taste tea, and DIY interesting tea cakes. In the “Tea Awareness Travel” event, he was voted top ten in Taiwan’s top ten tea districts. When you come to Sixty Stone Mountain throughout the year, you can experience the beauty of heavens and earth right here.
