Hsuan Shan Lake Forest Coffee Introduction
Established in 2004, the XUANSHAN Lake Forest Cafe covers an area of three hectares, with 1,800 coffee trees planted within the garden. The café's unique feature lies in its integrated process of coffee production, which includes harvesting, dehusking, washing, drying, shelling, roasting, and brewing. The owner first introduced the Dongshan coffee variety to Dapu Township, and in 2006, it won an award at the Zengwen Reservoir Coffee Festival's coffee tasting competition. The Arabica coffee grown here is medium roasted, producing a flavor that is neither acidic nor astringent, with a slight bitterness and a sweet aftertaste. This low-caffeine coffee is cultivated in the humid, warm climate rich in mist around the Zengwen Reservoir, resulting in pesticide-free, organic Taiwanese coffee.
