Does "coffee leaf tea" have coffee flavor after all? Everyone must be as curious as the editor. According to Tsai Xilian, an agricultural technician at Yunlin Gukeng Township Institute, who participated in the research and development, it tastes mild, has no bitter taste, has a mellow finish, and even has the aroma of coffee, especially when it is cold.

Low caffeine in good health

Cai Xilian said that in fact, "coffee leaf tea" has long been drunk in Europe, which is regarded as a health-preserving tea for aristocrats. According to an international study, coffee leaves contain ingredients that reduce the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and British and French researchers have found that they contain more antioxidants than ordinary tea, have high doses of anti-inflammatory natural chemicals, and contain much less caffeine than traditional tea or coffee.

"Coffee Leaf Tea" is produced in summer with better nutritional composition and taste. It picks old leaves for more than 2 years and ferments for more than 8 days. After low temperature withering and drying, it can be brewed and drunk in tea bags. At present, the pre-purchase method of products is adopted, because of the tedious process and low output, most of them are purchased by sensible old horses, while the township office hopes to position it as a local limited product, and when people visit the ancient pit, they will look for "treasure" by the way.
