19世紀下半葉以後，臺灣烏龍茶同砂糖、樟腦一起進軍世界市場，在臺灣的 農產品中占有重要地位。臺灣被日本統治後，整頓港灣設施，大型輪船已可停泊 台灣的港口。在臺灣茶葉的收獲期，許多外國輪船停泊基隆港，装載臺灣產的烏 龍茶運送北美大陸。至今雖然已有討論臺灣烏龍茶的生產與出口之相關論文，但 關於烏龍茶如何從臺灣運送到北美其情況尚未明確。因此，本論文主要闡述烏龍 茶由輪船輸出海外特別是北美的具體狀況。

After the second half of the 19th century, Taiwan's Oolong Tea entered the world market together with sugar and camphor, and it played an important role in Taiwan's agricultural products. After Taiwan was ruled by Japan, the harbor facilities were reorganized and large ships were able to park in Taiwan's ports. During the harvest season of tea in Taiwan, many foreign ships moored in Keelung Harbor and loaded with Taiwanese Oolong Tea to transport to the North American continent. Although there have been papers on the production and export of Taiwan's Oolong Tea, it is not clear how Oolong Tea was shipped from Taiwan to North America. Therefore, this paper mainly describes the specific conditions of Oolong Tea exported by ships, especially to North America.
