Driven by his passion and vision, he persisted through the era of bubble tea's popularity. Thanks to the strength accumulated in coffee and beverage raw materials, he seized the opportunity to innovate and transform, creating the coffee beverage and dining channel we see today. Many stories of Chiayi residents have unfolded here, where a cup of coffee has accompanied beautiful memories for countless people.
