It was only much later, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, that significant numbers of Chinese made their way to Taiwan. It was in the middle of the Qing Dynasty that tea bushes were transplanted to Taiwan from Wuyishan in Fujian Province. Thus it is extremely natural that the method of tea drinking to which Taiwan is heir is that of using leaf tea steeped in boiling water.
台灣從明朝末葉開始有較多移民，清中葉始從福建武夷山移入茶樹種植，喝茶的方式「承明繼清」，以「葉茶」沖泡法來喝茶，也是極其自然之事。
