our story
Co-owner and former sole-proprietor of Black Dragon Teas – Andy Kincart has lived mostly in Taiwan since 1989. In 1993, his appreciation for the locally-grown tea that he had already developed led him to the home of a tea farmer in the Dong Ding tea growing region. Since then, it has been an ongoing exploration of the world of tea which has provided a fulfillment that is unique to this island. Since 1997, Andy has been sharing this passion for tea as an exclusive exporter of quality Oolong teas. Now, after 20 years of appreciation for this cultural treasure – he is endeavoring to provide some progressive input through the establishment of eco-cha.
