are there less bugs/pests up there too?🤔

random tea fact: in taiwan tea leaves grown at higher elevations are sought after because the leaves are more nutrient dense from growing slower, but there is specialized tea called oriental beauty (東方美人) which despite grown at lower altitudes holds high demand because it undergoes additional natural fermentation with bugs that feed off them leaving compounds that make the tea unusually sweet on top of the fermentation-drying process in oolong tea 🤓
