Silvia is a mixed race native of the Tsou tribe, and lives in a village in the heart of the high altitude tea appellation of the Ali Mountains, the Ali Shan.
She has managed to keep her father's land and to develop it with the cultivation of tea in sustainable agriculture.
Ali Shan is mostly known for its wulong teas, but Silvia, very creative, has tried, with the same cultivar, the Chin Shin, to manufacture other colors of tea.
