Alishan Mazu Taiwan coffee beans are strictly grown in the mountain areas of Alishan between 800m and 1300 m above sea level, belonging to Arabica beans.

Mafeel is a language taken from the Zou people of the Alpine nationality in Alishan, which means "delicious and delicious". Mafeel coffee ranks first in Asia and eighth in the world.

Alishan coffee is the most special and superior coffee in Taiwan, and its output is relatively small, and it is precious because it is rare. Alishan, located 75 kilometers east of Chiayi City, Taiwan, is located above 2000 meters above sea level, adjacent to the Yushan Mountains and Yushan National Park in the east, surrounded by high mountains, with a cool climate, with an average temperature of 10.6 degrees Celsius in summer and 14.3 degrees Celsius in summer. the average temperature in winter is 6.4 degrees Celsius. The taste is not bitter and astringent, and the flavor is mellow and rich. Alishan's unique climate and altitude conditions give birth to high-quality mountain tea, orchids and what the Japanese call the best horseradish (Washami).

There are typhoons in Taiwan every year, and the roots of coffee trees generally do not go very deep into the soil. Once they encounter a strong typhoon, they will fall down. Putting betel nuts in the coffee garden can not only protect them from the shade, but also block the wind. The flowers of the coffee are on the top, while the bottom is fruitful because of the uneven sunshine. Because the bottom is exposed to sunlight and receives a higher temperature of the soil, it blossoms earlier and bears fruit earlier. The lower part of the plant blossoms and bears fruit later because of the strong wind and the lower temperature. Unlike tropical Southeast Asian and African countries, coffee trees in Taiwan have uniform crown and bottom temperatures and can blossom and bear fruit at the same time. The ripening time of the fruits on coffee trees in Taiwan is uneven, and they can only be picked one by one, so coffee farmers work hard to pick beans when picking coffee, and they can only pick ripe fruits first, and then pick them after a few days, which wastes a lot of time for coffee farmers. on the other hand, the coffee of one tree blossoms at different times, bears fruit at different times, and is picked at different times, which makes the aroma of Alishan coffee particularly rich.

The output of coffee beans in Taiwan is small, but through the careful planting of farmers, high-quality coffee beans can be harvested. Coffee trees, including Alishan, Nantou, Yunlin, and other places have very unique coffee. Alishan coffee is planted by young people of the Alishan Zou people who return to their hometown. The annual output has reached 20 tons, supplying instant coffee and filter coffee.
