The type of tea brought into Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty was oolong tea. This was first planted in the Wenshan district, and afterwards along the Tanshui river. It is said that near Shihting in northern Taiwan, tea bushes more than 100 years old still survive.
台灣在清代所移入的茶種為烏龍茶，最先種在文山區，然後沿淡水河等地栽種，據說北台灣的石碇附近至今尚有百年茶樹。
