Bamboo Collection | Teas from Taiwan

Bamboo Dance is based on an aboriginal dance from Taiwan's Ami tribe. This dance is traditionally performed during the "Harvest Festival" of Ami. Two bamboo poles are put on the ground abreast of each other with several inches between them. Other bamboo poles are put across them. Young men bend down on both sides holding one end of the poles, moving them around in a set rhythm. The dancers jump and turn as the bamboo poles come together and spread apart. The pole holders will slowly accelerate as the dance reaches a climax, accompanied with people’s cheering and laughing.
