Taiwan Tea and Coffee Tours Package
If you have decided to go to Taiwan, I would like to offer you the 11 days itinerary as below.

National Palace Museum, Tea and Coffee Farm, Night Market, Hot Springs for 11 days.

Taipei County/Wenshen(Northern Taiwan)
Altitude: 500-800 meters Rainfall: Over 2,300 mm
Pao-Chong Tea farm
Taipei City/Mucha(Northern Taiwan)

Altitude: 200-500 meters
Rainfall: Over 2,300 mm
Tien-Kuan-Yin Tea farm
Hsin-Chu County/Peipu(Northern Taiwan)
Altitude: 90-150 m
Rainfall: Over 1,700 mm
Oriental Beauty Tea farm
One of these specialties is "lei cha" a tea ground with a pestle that includes many more ingredients than ordinary tea. The waitress then brings a tray of ingredients including tea leaves, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and other nuts. The guests take turns grinding each of the ingredients to a fine powder. Once everything is ground, the waitress takes it away to add hot water to it. The finished product looks like a bubbling, green witch's brew. It is ladled into cups to which a mixture of dates, raisins, and unidentifiable chewy sweet things are added. Although the mixture looks a bit strange, it tastes delicious.

Chia-I County/Alishen(South Taiwan)
Altitude: 1,400-2,600 meters
Rainfall: Over 4,000 mm
Oolong Tea farm
Yun-Lin County/Gukeng(South Taiwan)

Arabica coffee farm
Coffee cultivation in Taiwan began in the 10th year of Emperor Guangxu, in the Qing Dynasty (1884). During the Japanese occupation, the Japanese planted 75 hectares of coffee trees on the Hebaoshan Commercial Farm in Gukeng Township, Yunlin. Thereafter, Hebaoshan was known by the name "Kafeishan" (or Coffee Mountain), a moniker that remains to this day.
