Mantang Tea Products Introduction
In 2009, the August 8th typhoon swept across Taiwan, including Ruifeng Village in Chiayi, which is the hometown of Yu-Jhen. After the disaster, Yu-Jhen felt the desire to "do something for her hometown." Once the storm subsided, she returned home, contemplating how to make Ruifeng known to more people and allow tea lovers to taste the unique flavors of Ruifeng tea. In 2014, Yu-Jhen and her sister-in-law Xin-Yuan launched "Man-Tang Tea Products" in downtown Chiayi, selling fine tea from Ruifeng Village, part of the Alishan tea region. The store frequently features award-winning teas from domestic and international competitions, all sourced from her hometown tea gardens. Every leaf undergoes stringent selection by Yu-Jhen, with the hope that visitors and travelers can appreciate the diverse character of Alishan tea through tastings and by learning about its origins. The shop provides brewing instructions in Chinese, English, and Japanese, teaching everyone how to brew great tea easily. With its young and cute packaging and bilingual service, it has become the go-to place for both locals and international visitors looking for Alishan tea. Apart from selling high-quality tea, Man-Tang also combines the strength of the Ruifeng community by regularly hosting rural experience activities, allowing consumers to visit the hometown of champion tea and experience the intricate processes of picking, roasting, and rolling tea. In the serene bamboo forest and in nature, one can sip fragrant tea. The brand name "Man-Tang" reflects the meaning: "Man" represents completeness and fulfillment, while "Tang" symbolizes nostalgia for one's hometown. The logo features a blue magpie, a significant symbol in the Tsou tribe, gracefully soaring through the shop's products, embodying Yu-Jhen's deep and steadfast feelings for her hometown. If you have the chance, do visit Man-Tang to share in this sweet and pure goodness. Recommended items: Limited edition teas and Jin Xuan tea.
