Wild Boar Garden Civet Coffee Introduction
In 1901, the Japanese introduced Arabica coffee from Java, and the experimental farm in Hengchun, Pingtung achieved fruitful results. By 1912, it was promoted to Taitung, Hualien, and other areas, with companies such as the East Taiwan Coffee Co., Taitung Development Co., and Kimura Coffee's Taiwan branch dedicated to the development of the coffee industry in Taiwan. By the 70th year of the Republic, Taitung still had nearly 30 hectares of coffee farms managed by simple coffee farmers who adhered to the laws of nature and cultivated aromatic and rich energy coffee using natural farming methods. The Beinan Township of Taitung County, particularly the ancient place name of the Puyuma tribe, Longguomai (NADANAW), is abundant in bamboo forests. Situated in the Pacific Black Current area between the Central Mountain Range and the Coastal Mountain Range (commonly called Jiugangfeng), during the winter northeast monsoon season, the fragrance of bamboo leaves fills the air, which coincides with the coffee ripening season. Coffee farmers express their gratitude to the land and nature by sharing the joy of bamboo's fragrance and the coffee harvest.
