Daxi Old Tea Factory Introduction
Visit the Daxi Old Tea Factory and leisurely embark on a journey called "Tea Time". Built in 1926 by the Japanese, the Jiao Ban Mountain Factory is the predecessor of the Daxi Tea Factory, marking the glorious history of tea production in Daxi and rendering it a "new wealthy class" of the tea industry at the time. However, a fire in 1956 nearly destroyed the factory. It wasn't until 2010 that Taiwan Sugar Corporation started the reconstruction, bringing back the tea culture that had been hidden for half a century, blending the old with the new for all to see. The exterior of the Daxi Old Tea Factory is modeled after Indian Darjeeling tea factories, while the interior boasts a mix of Taiwanese and Japanese styles, rich in multiculturalism. The dominant color of blue prevails throughout the building, from the window frames and beams to the uniquely shaped shelves, walls, and artwork. The understated blue harmonizes perfectly with this brick structure combined with cypress wood, creating a serene beauty washed by time and antiquated tea-making equipment that softly whispers the Zen spirit of tea conversation. Savoring the aroma of tea and appreciating the culture, every corner of the factory captivates visitors. Strolling by the tranquil pond, one can feel a moment of peace away from the city; the Pu'er tea wall, stacked with over a hundred tea bricks, offers a sip of the fragrance of time; relax in the reading area, free from the constraints of time in a world of literature; sit across from a friend in the tea library, enjoying tea and everyday conversation; and don’t forget to express your creativity in the doodle book, leaving a beautiful note for this little trip. Adhering to nature is the unchanging principle of operation at the Daxi Old Tea Factory, with no pesticides added during the production process, promoting food safety and organic practices, and all products passing SGS certification. They open monthly reservations for a comforting buffet, featuring 15 seasonal local dishes paired with tea aroma, ensuring a pure taste and refreshing flavor for travelers to enjoy the elegance of tea. There is also a daily supply of regular set meals, offering a simple yet infinitely memorable experience of food and drink culture.
