Adhering to the love of the old house, Mingcao Coffee New Home is located in Bixia Street in the old city of Ilan. It combines the original Mingcao Coffee Shop in Wushigang with the two coffee shops in Bixia Palace to retain the characteristics of the past two shops. Double hand-to-hand (one-to-one teaching), coffee 100 seats, give me back mountains and rivers (ice drop coffee), have a cup of coffee and walk around the old city of Ilan to see the sparks that young people jump out!

Ming Cao Coffee, the boss loves nature and outdoor activities, so he named the storefront "Ming Cao". The name comes from the natural movement played by the stroke of nature blowing through the grass. Bixia Street is adjacent to Bixia Palace and Yang Shifang Memorial Forest Garden. Recently, many young people have gathered on the street to start businesses, from the earliest Stay traveler bookstore, Father carving, and Lancheng narrow Lane, and now Ming Cao has settled here and become a settlement for young people to start businesses.

The old house belongs to the early family house in Ilan. The age of the house is roughly known from the goose yellow window frames and light blue grilles.

Push open the door, the bar lamp with plant withered branches makeup point, the room is full, hurry to find a seat to drink coffee

The shop retains the grilles, stone floors and traces of time of many old houses.

The space is small but light, bright and very warm.

Have a cup of coffee by the carved window, read a good book, and have a good afternoon.

And savor the atmosphere carefully, which is the ingenious idea of careful arrangement.

At the bar, you haven't decided which coffee to drink? There are four kinds of beans with different flavors that you can smell before you order coffee.

Click to go: Ming Cao Coffee menu

Full slice of coffee (Nantou Fish Pond-washed)-$200

Kafka's favorite combination! A boutique coffee has two experiences, one cup is warm and the other is cool, and the coffee is mixed at different temperatures to give a different appearance.

The proportion of coffee powder is 18 grams. Bleaching filter paper with natural enzymes

The owner of each coffee bean carries out a cup test in the morning to determine the best water temperature today, and strictly select the mountain spring water where the crabs are bubbling.

To evoke the flavor of coffee needs to let him breathe.

Why do cold drinks use snow cups to shake?

It turns out that when testing coffee in a simulated cup, we need to sip the coffee to quickly merge with the air, so we use the method of shake to create the experience of sipping.

Nantou Fish Pond-washed, with honey fragrance and slightly sour taste, it is a full-scented coffee bean, a manor made by the boss, and a fish pond on loog. They put incubators in the forest to live in.

Latte-$130

It's a specially prepared formula bean by the boss.

Dense and meticulous milk foam, with coffee beans carefully selected by Ming Cao

Limited ice drop coffee-$150

This is the "give me back" formula beans that are the most popular to a drink in "read the coffee", recreating the taste of the classic coffee drink.

Boutique Coffee (Yunnan Pool small Farmer Elephant washing)-$150

The boss himself is also a quality appraiser of the origin. This style is a small agricultural bean that he strictly selected when he went to Yunnan for evaluation this year.

This one is very refreshing, with a hint of nutty chocolate, even with a hint of tea

Full range of coffee (Nanhu Dad recipe)-$200

Nanhu Mountain is an important river in Lanyang Plain and the source of Lanyang River. So this "South Lake Dad" is the exclusive flavor of Ilan.

This style is very similar to the people of Ilan, with a faint smell of honey and a very mellow finish. Just like the human feelings of Ilan people are cold on the outside and hot on the inside, they will not bloom their enthusiasm until they are familiar with them.

The smell is light when it is cold, it is full of warm flavor in the mouth and remains in the mouth.

Easy to sniff the optional wine glass, which can just cover your nose (remember to inhale and keep your nose away from the glass when you exhale)

The brewing pots and coffee filter cups placed by the bar are not decorations, but they have practical uses.

Will choose different utensils according to the characteristics of coffee and the flavor that customers want.

If you want to increase your knowledge of coffee, you are advised to sit at the bar! Don't be shy the boss likes to drink coffee while students learn the knowledge of coffee, it can be said to kill a few birds with one stone!

All the beans you like are on sale. The key point is to suggest that after choosing the beans you love, you should choose to play double hand flushing together. Some bosses directly demonstrate a suitable filter cup, water temperature, and brewing method, and directly flush them to the boss for inspection on the spot. It is recommended to dig for treasure when you leave the peak.

Carry-on bag (one bag)-$30

There is a carry-on bag with every flavor, and the boss cares very much about the need to brew as soon as possible after grinding, so there is only a very small amount at the scene, which needs to be booked in advance or matched at home again.

At present, Mingcao Coffee is actively used as Taiwan Coffee-baking Taiwan Fine Coffee

Mountain Pig-South Australia

Taiwan Black Bear-Nantou Shenshan

Fish pond-Nantou fish pond

Firefly-Taichung New Society

Ming Cao Coffee is committed to promoting environment-friendly coffee. During the chat, it once said:

We guard a mountain with coffee, because coffee is a shade plant, what we are doing is a coffee tree, and each mountain has a species suitable for him. If we don't prepare the land too much, the original plant will stay, so the protozoa will come back here.

Mingcao Coffee is brewing coffee with this idea and defending Taiwan's beautiful mountains and forests with this belief.
