After the first sip of Taiwanese coffee, the tip of the tongue slowly changed from bitterness to sweetness, and the sweet, mellow, rich flavor lingered in the mouth for a long time. When the temperature dropped slightly to 85 ℃, the unforgettable taste came back to my heart again, perhaps with a hint of almonds and maybe with a hint of micro-walnuts. When the unique fragrance of the heart seems to remain in the mouth, the thick sweetness has quietly filled the whole throat rhyme, and the feeling of happiness is also sweeping towards people.

People who have drunk Taiwan coffee will be touched by the multi-level taste of Taiwan coffee. In addition to the rich oil and unique aroma of Taiwan coffee itself, the imported coffee is very rich in strength, purity and aroma, and it can be said to be the best in coffee. Taiwan coffee has been described as the "Rolls-Royce" of coffee!

Taiwan coffee is rising as a "black gold". The top roasted beans soar to NT $4000 or NT $5000 a pound, which is on a par with high-priced musk coffee. As long as it is crowned with "Taiwan coffee," the price will jump triple. In a coffee shop, a cup of Taiwanese coffee costs NT $200 to NT $300. "the most expensive roasted coffee is NT $4000 or NT $5000 a pound. High-priced musk coffee from abroad is priced at 6000 or 7000 yuan a pound in department stores, while it can be bought at 3000 or 4000 yuan in other channels.

Coffee in Taiwan is expensive not only because of low production and scarcity, but also because labor costs are too high. Female workers in Taiwan earn at least US $20 a day, while third World producing countries often earn less than US $1. This is also the reason why Taiwan coffee is only willing to import rather than buy local potatoes under the consideration of the cost of large coffee manufacturers.

The history of the systematic cultivation of coffee in Taiwan can be traced back to the period of Japanese occupation. In the early stage, due to poor cultivation techniques and poor fermentation treatment, the flavor was chaotic. However, in recent years, with the substantial growth of the population of drinking coffee, the demand for fine coffee is thirsty. therefore, with the assistance of agricultural administrative units, Taiwan coffee farmers have started to improve the soil quality and crop environment from many aspects, and improve the technology of raw bean treatment and baking. give full play to the experimental spirit of trying and constantly improve the quality, actively participate in international certification and various competitions, and repeatedly win awards. Let Taiwan coffee gradually come to the fore in the international arena.

In Nantou, green plum and betel nut were the main crops in the past. After the 921 earthquake, coffee was planted to improve soil and water conservation. Under the towering betel nut trees, coffee trees provided good half-day conditions for coffee. In addition, the country's surname township office and coffee farmers actively improved the quality, not only invited roasters, cup testers and other experts to teach in the producing area, but also coached farmers to participate in the international coffee evaluation. Therefore, in recent years, it has become a new star producing area of coffee in Taiwan.

Baisheng Village Coffee Manor, founded in 2008, is located next to the Beigang River in Guolan Township, with a hinterland of 10 hectares. In 2015, its honey-treated coffee beans were certified by the American Coffee quality Association (Coffee Quality Institute,CQI), an international authoritative raw bean evaluation organization, with a score of 84.92 points. The most amazing thing about Baisheng Village is that its manor is only 400 ∼ 600m above sea level, which is intuitively a low-altitude environment that is not conducive to coffee growth, but it can create an amazing and rich flavor through raw bean processing technology and fermentation procedures adapted to local conditions.
