In addition to tea culture, there are many scenic spots in Longtan area because of the large ponds. In addition to the natural scenery, the Hakka cuisine in Longtan area is also very famous.

Fuyuan Tea Factory

The third line of Taiwan passes through many Hakka villages along the way. driven by the Hakka Committee, the third line of Taiwan seems to be equated with "romance and beauty." Among them, Fuyuan Tea Factory, located in Longtan, Taoyuan, has a large area of emerald and green tea garden, which is full of beautiful photos. It not only attracts advertisers to come to take pictures, but also is a very famous tourist attraction.

The Fuyuan tea factory near Rugu Mountain has been in the tea industry for a hundred years. Asked why, Huang Zhengwei, the fifth-generation owner, said half-jokingly that the red soil here is acidic and has no choice but to grow tea or acacia trees. Of course, it is by no means that simple that an industry can last for a hundred years. Apart from the geographical location, the foggy and humid climate here, just the right temperature, coupled with the intentions of the operators, can achieve such a century-old prosperity.

In the 1950s, there were many families living in tea-related industries around Longtan. Looking at the sloping land everywhere, there were almost all tea trees. Fuyuan alone produced more than one million kilograms of tea a year. The local tea industry is not lagging behind, Fuyuan still tries his best to maintain the operation of the tea factory, and thinks hard about the transformation, and develops a sightseeing guide and experience project.

On the day of tea harvest, Huang Cheng-Wei will summon neighboring mothers-in-law to come to help. The beautiful Hakka cloth hats and bamboo baskets in the sun are set against rows of glossy tea trees, which is definitely the most attractive pastoral scenery. Not only the terraced tea garden retains the human ecology of the Hakka village, but also the antique tea-making machines imported from Europe, with a simple appearance but strong strength, are still in operation for decades, quietly witnessing the history of the tea factory.

Tea factories can not only watch with their eyes, but tourists can also experience the process of making tea, making tea and so on. Different from the sightseeing factory nowadays, Fuyuan shares the simple charm of the tea village with tourists, kneading and grinding tea, smelling elegant tea, and finally tasting tea with Qinggan tea. After you understand the production process of tea, you will feel more about the culture of tea.

Of course, you can't visit the tea factory without companion gifts. Taiwan Tea No. 18 "Hongyu" with big leaves is a well-known black tea variety in Taiwan, and it is also one of the hallmarks of Fuyuan. The red jade tea is bright red and has a strong taste. It is slightly astringent at the beginning of the entrance, but after it melts, it will gradually return to the sweet, becoming the first choice for many tourists. In addition, Laotou Niang makes sour citrus tea from home-grown tiger citrus, whether it's hot or as a cold drink, with a slightly sour taste of tea, which is absolutely shocking.
