Spent the afternoon with a couple from the Bay Area who were interested in seeing where Sun Moon Lake Black Tea comes from. We visited a friend’s farm to check out the progress on their new project that is a model of agri-tourism, aka leisure agriculture (休閒農場)in Taiwan. Obviously still a work in progress, but they plan to have it in full operation next year. They have already initiated their program of “tea tree adoption” where people can pay an annual fee to “own” row of tea trees from which they can harvest, process and take home all of the tea that is produced from their row. In addition to this, there will be on-site, DIY tea making classes, cultural tea brewing, activities, residential spaces to rent, etc. We look forward to further cooperation with our good friends, Assam and Jane of the Watanabe Tea Farm in Yu Chi Township, Taiwan.
