In 2017, the coffee evaluation of Nantou County was held at the coffee farm of Baisheng Village, Guosurname Township. The evaluation team led by Taiwan coffee expert Han Huaizong identified and screened the raw beans, and then used the uniform standard roasted and compared with the SCAA American invitation Coffee Association appraisal form for functional identification. As a result, Guoxinqing Coffee and Linyuan Coffee won the special prize in the washing group and other treatment groups respectively.

The output and area of coffee in the township surnamed Guo ranks first in the country, and it is the only township that has obtained the origin mark of domestic coffee. There are three production and marketing classes. Under the guidance of public offices and peasant associations, class members and class members often exchange experiences with each other, promoting the promotion of the overall industry. Xinqing Coffee and Lin Yuan Coffee also exceeded 84 high marks for the first time.

Xinqing Coffee Huang Meitao, the top two in the arranged washing group, said that the coffee garden, located 1 km above sea level in Chiufen Ershan, was particularly unusual this year. Half of the coffee trees without even a single fruit were encountered for the first time in more than 10 years, and the overall output was only 1Tha5 last year.

Because of the low output, she did not hire workers this year, so she was completely picked by the whole family, and coffee beans were picked only when they were all red. Because of the small quantity, the beans she picked every day were first stored in the refrigerator and then made together in three or four days.

"Wow, the flavor of coffee beans is very different this year." Before the competition, she took out the chilled coffee beans to try, determined that "the more ice for more days, the better the flavor." then she chose two of the earliest picked beans to participate in the competition, and won the top two in the washing group. The special prize also exceeded 84 points for the first time, scoring an all-time high of 84.67 for Xinqing Coffee, which even she could not believe.

"only when you have a house can you get it," she said. "half of the coffee doesn't bear fruit," although we still don't know what caused it. But she realized that it was to "have a good rest with the coffee tree." Nourish one's spirit. Keep going.

Lin Wenhong, who also broke his own record with a high score of 84.5, Lin Wenhong also shared the winning experience. He said that the coffee beans at the end of the production period had a thick density and high sweetness after a cold spell, coupled with the assistance of this year's new sharp dryer, so that the degree of fermentation could be properly controlled. therefore, among the six densely treated beans that entered the final, "fermented flavor will not be too heavy" was especially favored by the judges and won the special prize of other treatment groups.
