The most important tea-growing area in Taiwan today is the Chiayi belt. (Early tea-producing areas have been ruined by excessive use of chemical fertilizers. In fact, the well-known "Luku tea" is actually made by purchasing top quality tea from around Taiwan and refining it in Luku, so that what Luku really sells is its processing skills.)
台灣現在最好的茶產地在嘉義一帶，早期的茶葉產地因為使用化學肥料，地力喪失嚴重，已經無法生產好的茶菁，名聞遐邇的鹿谷茶，其實是由全省各地收購回優質茶菁於當地精製而成，鹿谷現在賣的是頂尖的製茶工藝。
