Taiwan's coffee has gradually become famous in recent years. Gukeng Coffee is unique, but the "Zhang Shunjiao Coffee Manor," located in Nantou's national name township, is not to be missed. The most important thing is that the owner of this coffee garden, Zhang Shunjiao, who is known as Ajiao, successfully combines traditional Chinese medicine with coffee aroma to create a unique taste and aroma, which is a place worth visiting before the Taiwan Lantern Festival.

Nantou is mountainous, with fresh air and sweet spring water, giving birth to a unique tea culture. However, few people know that Nantou is also one of the major coffee-producing cities. There are more than 30 coffee gardens in Nantou Guolan Township alone, and each owner has invested a lot of effort and manpower in research and development. To make Taiwan coffee fragrant in the treasure island of Taiwan and even around coffee drinkers all over the world.

Before going to the Taiwan Lantern Festival, under the arrangement of the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Communications, we visited Auntie's coffee farm. As soon as the car was parked, I saw Aunt Ajiao come out to greet us enthusiastically, which felt as if I had returned to my grandfather's house in the country. Although the manor is small, the scenery inside may not have the kind of specially pruned and arranged environment that young people are used to nowadays. However, Aunt Ajiao's enthusiasm is like the rich flavor of coffee, so that the cold winter has injected a warm current into our hearts.

Aunt Ajiao said that when she was a child, her family was poor and it was impossible to eat snacks, so coffee fruit was their snack. Drinking coffee is a common behavior, the smell of coffee beans is also very general, coffee fruit as a snack? This is the first time I've heard it.

The taste of coffee fruit is difficult to describe, probably similar to berries, but not sweet, not the dry and bitter taste of coffee beans, with a slightly astringent taste. Aunt Ajiao saw the expression on our faces after eating coffee, she couldn't help laughing and said, "what's up?" It's hard to imagine that this is the predecessor of Xiangchun coffee, isn't it? "

A good cup of coffee must go through a lot of processes. Aunt Ajiao explained to us herself. She says that in order to drink a cup of coffee, the procedures are very complicated, including harvesting, peeling, natural fermentation, washing, removing bad beans, and then exposure to the warm sun for seven to 10 days, until the moisture content of the coffee beans drops to 12% before they can be shelled. Finally, it is grinding and brewing.

The difference between Ajiao's coffee and other countries' coffee farms is that the residue of traditional Chinese medicine is used as organic fertilizer, so there is not only a strong flavor of coffee, but also a fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine.
